Historic Garden

Built in 1744 by wine importer John Wister, Grumblethorpe was intended as a summer retreat house. The house is a prime example of domestic Germantown architecture of the period, and the large gardens surrounding the house have been restored to resemble the gardens as they appeared in the 19th century. All special event rentals at Grumblethorpe are outdoors only.

It's free but you have to pay for all events. Food is catered and it does not feel like Oktoberfest. No German band playing music, no Hessians give speeches, everything is a price. This society could make this event more if tgey reached out to restaurants, historical groups, radio stations, military groups, and charged one fee at the door, it would be a great event. Less and less people attend. It was a great event a couple of years ago.

An urban oasis of history and nature. I love everything about it- farmers market, chickens, fresh eggs, HUGE trees, beautiful blooms, interesting peak into history, awesome staff, etc.!
