Fee-Free Day on FOURTH OF JULY at Grey Towers 


MILFORD, PA – Come celebrate our nation’s birthday on July 4, 2011, as the 
US Forest Service offers a fee-free day at Grey Towers National Historic Site, 
Milford, PA. 

The US Forest Service will waive all admission fees for the day as a way to 
commemorate Independence Day and to bring attention to the national role 
that Grey Towers and the Pinchot family played in the introduction of natural 
resource conservation to America. 

Grey Towers will be open to the public from 10 am to 4 pm on the Fourth of 
July. 

Forest Service staff will offer a unique insight into the conservation 
contributions made by the Pinchot family and how they utilized the Grey 
Towers estate as their family home until 1963, when it was donated to the US 
Forest Service. 

Additional fee-free days during the 2011 season include Thursday, August 11, 
Gifford Pinchot’s birthday (there may be some singing involved) and 
Saturday, Sept. 24, National Public Lands Day (there will definitely be some 
free ice cream involved.)
