Inscription.
Friendship Walk and Four Seasons Overlook. . In 1957, a group of Marjorie Post's friend created an English-style walk for her new home as a tribute to her kindness and generosity. The informal path leads from the rose garden to open onto a flagstone circle that in Post's day overlooked a vista of the surrounding landscape. Today, a canopy of mature trees encloses the space. A central medallion bears a message about friendship written by Alexandra, the last empress of Russia. Statues representing the four seasons stand on bases listing the names of the friends who contributed to the walk and overlook.
