BLITHEWOLD: Legacy of an American Family is a social history of four generations of an American family, from 1810 to 2010, and the legacy they left in the form of Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum. Blithewold is a spectacular 33-acre estate on the shores of Narragansett Bay in Bristol, Rhode Island, known as New England's finest sea-side garden estate. The estate's large archival collection of letters and photographs are used to illustrate this remarkable story.
