Wellness Wednesdays - Tree ID / Fall Foliage Walk

  • Ulysses S. Grant State Historic Site 1000 Mount McGregor Road Wilton, NY, 12831 United States (map)

Join us for a walk through the fall foliage!

Enjoy a staff-guided tour of the historic site grounds, where different tree species will be identified and discussed amid the beautiful colors of fall. Over 20 species of trees will be identified, and participants are encouraged to fill out the tree ID scavenger hunt forms for a free souvenir.

Along your stroll you’ll learn about the different species of trees that call the ecosystem of Mt. McGregor home and interesting facts about the rich history of the site grounds.

Note: This walk requires walking over uneven and some steep sections of natural surface terrain. Severe weather will cancel.

While RSVPing is not required, they do help us provide the best experience possible.

Perfect Visit

“I took a family member for a pre booked tour and it was magnificent. Steve was our tour guide, and it was just two of us on his tour. Many great individual stories about the Grant family and some new artifacts on display. We brought lunch and enjoyed that on the overlook, on a clear day with that spectacular view. Everyone locally needs to visit this well preserved historic site, whether for a tour, enjoy a program, or just to enjoy the property. Linger a while in the gift shop, too.”
