Delight in a guided tour of the Rosengarten estate, built as a country retreat by the late Adolph G. Rosengarten Jr., a former Army spy during WWII, Philadelphia corporate director and Main Line philanthropist. Mr. Rosengarten’s humor is evident in naming his home after the estate “Chanticlere” in Thackeray’s 1855 novel The Newcomes. The fictional Chanticlere was “mortgaged up to the very castle windows” but “still the show of the county.” Playing on the word, which is synonymous with “rooster,” the Rosengartens used rooster motifs throughout the estate. A garden of pleasure and learning, relaxing yet filled with ideas to take home, Chanticleer has been called the most romantic, imaginative, and exciting public garden in America. Enjoy a delicious lunch at The White Dog Café; the perfect spot to complete a day of enchanted surroundings.
