About Gifford Pinchot

Gifford Pinchot was the son of James Pinchot, a native of Milford, Pennsylvania, and his wife, Mary, who was from New York. In 1886, after earning a fortune in the wallpaper business in New York, James retired and returned to his hometown with his wife to build their new home. Grey Towers became home to the Pinchot family; it remained their home until Dr. Gifford Bryce Pinchot, son of Gifford and his wife, Cornelia, donated it to the Forest Service in 1963.
