Now a city park hosting many public cultural events.
Hours: Open from sunrise to sunset every day of the year. The conservatory is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. every day except major holidays.

This 1850 estate is the former home of Frances Osborne Kellogg. The grounds include several gardens, among them an English rock garden and formal rose garden.
