Glebe House Museum & Gertrude Jekyll Garden
Museum · Woodbury, Connecticut
A c. 1740 gambrel-roofed minister's house known as the birthplace of the Episcopal Church in the United States — with the only Gertrude Jekyll-designed garden in America open to the public (self-guided, dawn to dusk, year-round).
History
The house was first occupied by Woodbury's Anglican priest John Rutgers Marshall in 1771. Its grounds hold the sole publicly accessible U.S. garden designed by the great English garden designer Gertrude Jekyll.
