Welcome !

The Friends of Tarrywile Park (FOT) is a private non-profit 501(c)3 organization run by volunteers whose mission is to support the preservation and enhancement of Tarrywile Park – a prized treasure that consist of a magnificent Victorian mansion, a castle and over 700 bucolic acres of pristine open space offering some of the State’s best hiking, picnicking, fishing, mountain biking, dog walking, environmental education, bird watching or just whiling away the day surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Please take a few moments to explore our website. You will be amazed at the hidden treasures awaiting you at Tarrywile Park – no matter what your interest may be. You are welcome to visit us anytime.

Also, mark your calendars to join us for our annual Evening at the Mansion on June 1, 2012. The popular get-together is held at the beautiful Tarrywile Mansion and includes some of the area’s finest catered hors d’oeuvres along with spirits and wine, music. The weekend is designed around a series of events to create awareness of the opportunities provided by Tarrywile Park and to raise funds in support of Park improvements and program offerings. For more information, please see our Upcoming Events.

FOT works with the Tarrywile Park Authority to promote community use and awareness of the Park. We conduct activities to solicit gifts of materials, equipment, exhibits, services, funds, endowments and bequests to benefit the park. As a tax-free, fundraising organization of volunteers we take an active role in the historic preservation, restoration and enhancement of the park’s buildings and grounds. All contributions to the Friends of Tarrywile Park are tax deductible under the Federal tax code.

Be sure to check the website frequently for updates as there are always new goings on happening at the Park. Feel free to leave us your contact information so we can include you on event announcements and general updates about the Park. Of course, we would enjoy having you join the growing list of active Members of the Friends of Tarrywile Park.
