Joy Kaminsky is the horticulturist at Cantigny Gardens. Join us for an informative illustrated talk about the former country estate of the Robert R. McCormick family, who made The Chicago Tribune the "World's Greatest Newspaper." Built in 1896 for Joseph Medill, the house and grounds, originally known as Red Oak Farm, first passed to Joseph's daughter Katherine and then to her youngest son, Robert Rutherford. Today, Cantigny Park is home to two museums, 29 acres of beautiful formal gardens designed by Franz Lipp, and a 27-hole championship golf course. Learn about the family history of the McCormicks and the hidden secrets of an architectural and horticultural treasure in Wheaton, IL.
