“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.”
Emily Brontë
This sentiment by Emily Brontë perfectly expresses our fascination with fall, surely among the best times to visit Winterthur. Along with the beautiful colors in the garden, equally stunning are Winterthur’s magnificent 175-room house and collection of American decorative arts.
As always, we’re excited to welcome you to experience the beauty and hospitality of this great American country estate.
Come one, come all—and come often this fall.
