The Montgomery Pinetum is a unique park in Cos Cob, Connecticut. Montgomery Pinetum's rich history began in 1880 when Fred Gotthold and his wife Florence created the "Wild Acres" estate in Cos Cob. This self-sufficient property featured an 18-room mansion, expansive lawns, gardens, and various structures. In 1928, Colonel Robert H. Montgomery and his wife transformed it into a public space, establishing the Colonel's "pinetum" with 850 conifer species. Today, Montgomery Pinetum, spans 62 acres and preserves its historical charm with a flagstone terrace and manicured lawns, although the original estate buildings have been replaced. The park boasts a reflecting pool and vibrant displays of tulips, daffodils, azaleas, and other flowers, making it a great place to stop by when in Cos Cob.
