Description: Noted historian Ted Gordon will conduct a walking and car caravan tour of Chatsworth and environs to focus on the late 1800s/early 1900s when nobility in the form of Prince Mario Ruspoli of Italy "reigned" in these parts of the Pines. We will visit the White Horse Inn, the Methodist Episcopal Church and see the exterior of the old railroad station now converted into a residence. By car caravan, we'll make a brief stop at the site of the Chatsworth Inn and the Prince's Cottage, and then head to Apple Pie Hill fire tower for a magnificent view of the surrounding forest and learn its fascinating history, including the late Dr. White's plans to develop a sanitarium here in the early 1900s.
