    Is it possible to give us a little more notice? I would have loved to walk over and do the tour today!

    Yeah, bummed to have missed this, especially since we missed the Halloween tours due to the nasty weather.

    This tour was somewhat spontaneous. We had in the neighborhood a visiting scholar of Frederick Law Olmstead Jr. who did the landscape design for McMillan. But never fear, we will do another tour, probably in the spring. And we'll give lots of notice as we did for the tour that took place in the rain and sleet. By the way, in spite of the February-like weather, over 175 people came out that day for the tours! And all our tour dates since have September have brought over 300 people to McMillan.
