A physician’s home and greenhouse

Dr. Francis Joseph Kron bought this homesite in 1834 and worked as a physician and horticulturalist. The house you see is reconstructed; the original was removed in the 1950s.

His greenhouse included oranges and pineapples. Check the park’s announced programs for an interior tour rather than assuming the buildings are open whenever the park gate is open.
