The mid 1870’s to the late 1890’s were labeled as the Gilded Age. This period is famous for its ornate mansions and grand gardens built by the Roosevelts, Vanderbilts, and Carnegies. Jana Milbocker will transport you to the Gilded Age with an armchair tour of the gardens at the Newport Mansions, Vanderbilt Estate, Vizcaya, Untermyer Gardens, Nemours and others.
