Bellingrath Home & Gardens
In 1932, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bellingrath created this beautiful 65 acre gardens. The public has always been welcome to tour the grounds. Three years later they had a 15 room house built on the property where they lived. Mr. Bellingrath survived his wife, but he died in 1955 at age 86. The property and all furnishings were left to a foundation which opened the home to the public following Mr. Bellingrath's death. Mrs. Bellingrath's collections of cyrstal, silver china and porcelin remain in the home for viewing.
Below is the Fowl River side of the house. The paved paths lead one down to the docks.
In the center of those intense pink rows of flowers, is a pond.
