This house was built and first owned by John Sherman, cousin of General William Tecumseh Sherman.

From 1892 to 1965, sisters Bess and Gertrude Gilbert, patrons of art and music, brought internationally famous entertainers to receptions in their home. Among the artists were Yehudi Menuhin, Ernestine Schumann-Heink, and Artur Rubinstein. The park office is located on the bottom floor.

Stories are just that. Stories and personal accounts that have been reported about the location.
The Shermin-Gilbert house exterior has yielded some minor activity. A shadow figure has been allegedly seen moving towards the backside of the building, but to date has not been captured on media. Some sessions using dowsing rods have been performed outside the location in an attempt to communicate with this possible apparition.
