General Meeting (Via ZOOM)

Tyler Formal Gardens: The Role of Stella Elkins Tyler

Presented by Lyle L. Rosenberger

This lecture is set within the “golden age of American gardens” (1890 – 1940) and illustrates how the gardens at Indian Council Rock — the estate of George F. and Stella Elkins Tyler — reflected values of wealth at this time. The cast who made this happen include Stella Elkins Tyler and numerous supporting characters. The story is indeed unique to Bucks County; creating for the Newtown area a time never to be forgotten.
