Dear Diane,Since you just moved to Rochester, NY, you have to take a free tour of Mt. Hope Cemetery to see George Ellwanger's monument.He started the Ellwanger and Barry Nurseries.He started Highland Park and is responsible for bringing many species of plants and trees to the United States.The Ellwanger mansion is on East Avenue.Go to www.fomh.org (The Friends of Mt. Hope) to find out when the tours begin.I think you will enjoy the history. Dawn did send me her file (letter) but my computer would not let me open it.You will have to contact her yourself.Let me know what you find out.Sincerely, Linda
