I have placed this cache in the Wildwood Manor House gardens. Please be careful and respectful as most of the garden is donor sponsored. The cache can be found by staying on the paved path. This Cache has been approved by the Metroparks with Permit Number 154.
The Manor House is an architectural gem. Completed in 1938 as the Stranahan family home, it is an excellent example of 18th century Georgian colonial architecture, and it is decorated accordingly. The house, reminiscent of Mount Vernon with a wide front portico, rests on a bluff overlooking a branch of the Ottawa River. The house has 35 primary rooms, 17 bathrooms and 16 fireplaces.
Several other estate buildings, from a limo garage to stables, are now used for a visitors center, public restrooms and park district offices.
Twenty-two rooms of the house are open for free, guided tours Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., and for a variety of special programs, including musical performances.
The Manor House formal gardens were designed by Ellen Biddle Shipman, a pioneer landscape architect who designed more than 650 gardens from New Hampshire to New Orleans.
