Built in 1886 by James Pinchot, Grey Towers National Historic Site is also referred to as Gifford Pinchot House or The Pinchot Institute. James recognized the increasing destruction of natural resources and urged his eldest son, Gifford Pinchot, to consider a career in forestry.

Together, the family introduced the idea of conservation, which led to Grey Towers now being one of the strongest supporters of conservation education, schools, and youth programs. Visitors will enjoy exploring Grey Towers and the 102 acres it sits on; the site is filled with trails, forestry, and wildlife, while the mansion itself hosts educational events, walks, and other guided tours.
