When to see peak color at Blithewold Mansion & Gardens

Peak fall color is predicted around October 30. Plan for the strongest viewing window from October 25 to November 4.

The prediction is a 25-year climatology built from NASA MODIS MOD13Q1 vegetation-index data, with the definition of peak calibrated against PhenoCam ground cameras. Where state foliage spotters report peak (New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Missouri), it has landed inside our ±5-day window about two years in three. An unusual summer or autumn can still move it further.

Fall color at Blithewold Mansion & Gardens begins as early as October 25 in some spots and continues through November 14 in others — a 21-day window where you can catch peak color somewhere in the area regardless of when you visit.
