See masterpieces of sculpture by Daniel Chester French, visit Revolutionary War hero Joseph Warren and poet e.e. Cummings, and view some of the Trust’s innovative contemporary art. Tours will be led by our expert guides Elise Ciregna, Al Maze, Dee Morris, and Trustee Anthony Sammarco; artists Fern Cunningham and Mitch Ryerson will participate in a walk to see their work at Forest Hills.
