Event Type Walk/Hike Description Long before there was online shopping, there were print catalogs; before the internet there were journals; before social media there were social circles; and before podcasts there were dinner parties. Meet some of the visitors and residents (both voluntary and forced) who made significant contributions to life at Montgomery Place while also shaping a wider worldview of their special field of interest. Highlighted personalities will include: A. J. Downing, landscape designer and founding journalist; A. J. Davis, architect and A-List invitee; Alexander Gilson, slave descendant, businessman, and ground breaking gardener; Violetta White Delafield, female scientist, pioneering mycologist, and outdoor wellness advocate.
