Tregaron was hands down the most popular destination in TCLF’s “What’s Out There Weekend”

November 1, 2010

Local DC Gems Shine in Inaugural What’s Out There Weekend

In a city of world famous and popular monuments, an under-the-radar 20-acre Country Place era estate on the edge of Rock Creek Park called Tregaron, was hands down the most popular destination in TCLF’s first ever What’s Out There Weekend (WOTW), September 25-26. It was among 25 sites located throughout the capital city for which scheduled and self-guided tours were available. The final count estimates more than 1000 people visited WOTW sites, the large majority for guided tours.

Tregaron attracted more than 125 people for each tour of the property first purchased in the 1880’s by National Geographic Society founder Gardiner Greene Hubbard. The estate was designed by Charles Platt and Ellen Shipman, and owned in the 1930’s by Ambassador Joseph Davies and Marjorie Merriweather Post (of Post cereal fortune and fame).
