From 1926-1928, Albert Lasker, the father of modern advertising, had renowned architect David Adler design and oversee the construction of a gentleman’s farm covering 480 acres with 27 buildings.  A completely self-contained utopia, the estate even boasted an 18-hole, nationally recognized golf course enjoyed by presidents and movie stars. 

Along with an overview of the history of Lasker’s Mill Road Farm, the tour will cover the story of Albert Lasker and the 13 David Adler-designed farm buildings all now private residences. 

Katie Hale, History Center Vice President and docent, will lead this tour. Expected duration is 1.5 to 2 hours. You will walk approximately 2 miles. 

NOTE: This tour will be offered again in the fall since spots are so limited!
