Accessed March 21, 2012. "The origin of the CHA goes back to a gift of land that Stewart Hartshorn made to his daughter, Cora L. Hartshorn, in 1923. Cora developed the area as a place where wild things could grow without harm and where people could come to enjoy them. The 'Stone House' was designed by Architect Bernhardt E. Muller, built using trap rock from Stewart Hartshorn’s quarry in Springfield, NJ and completed in 1933. Cora Hartshorn died in 1958 and willed the CHA to Millburn Township."</ref> * [[Greenwood Gardens]] – one of sixteen garden preservation projects in the United States overseen by the [[Garden Conservancy]].<ref>[[William Grimes (journalist)|Grimes, William]].[https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/26/nyregion/greenwood-gardens-in-short-hills-nj.html "A Riotous Ramble, Reborn in Suburbia"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', April 25, 2013. Accessed April 11, 2021. "When Stewart Hartshorn, a fortune in hand from the sales of spring-roller window shades, bought land in Millburn Township in the 1870s, he envisioned 'a harmonious community for people who appreciated nature.'... In one fell swoop, the tightly packed suburban mosaic of northern New Jersey gets a natural windfall. Greenwood Gardens sprawls over 28 acres that run right up against the extensive South Mountain Reservation, preserving the sense of total isolation from the human herd.
