Peirce's Park Highlights Walk

Learn about the history of the Longwood Gardens property from the early 1700s when it was settled by George Peirce (1700) through the purchase of the land by Pierre du Pont (1906), and how the visionary owners of the property developed it into the garden it is today.

Discover how members of the Peirce family contributed to the horticultural world and how they were influenced by other horticulturalists and movements of their times. You’ll learn about some of the trees in Peirce’s Park as well as about the measures Longwood’s gardeners take to protect these treasures.
