Green Spring historian Debbie Waugh explores the social phenomenon of the 18th century pleasure garden. These vast landscaped entertainment spaces, originating in London and later adopted in America, offered a host of attractions - refined and risqué - set amid ornamental gardens, arbors and pavilions. At night, many became disreputable venues for scandal, intrigue and worse. $15 per person.
