A little about Boyd Matson:
While working for National Geographic, Boyd Matson has been bitten, scratched, pooped on, and occasionally kissed by most of the creatures found at your local zoo. What he refers to as his job, others might describe as a career spent attending summer camp for adults.
During his twenty-two years at National Geographic he was the host of a variety of television and radio programs that transported the audience to the far corners of the world and to the hidden wonders in their own backyards.
Matson’s travels took him to all seven continents where he participated in high-adrenaline adventures, witnessed amazing natural history, documented disappearing cultures and reported on exciting discoveries in archaeology and palaeontology.
Before coming to National Geographic, Matson spent many years in network television news: co-anchor “World News Now” (ABC); host of “The Real Story” (CNBC); correspondent for “Real Life With Jane Pauley” (NBC); co-anchor and correspondent for “USA Today On TV”; co-anchor “Sunday Today” (NBC); and senior correspondent “Today” (NBC).

Friends, this is an invitation to our upcoming meeting Wednesday, May 19th in the great room at Chandor Garden. No reservation is necessary.
Feel free to bring a lunch and/or drink with you to enjoy during the meeting. Exciting private films from Douglas and Ina Chandor will be shown along with narration by two of our Friends and docents, Ann Geer and Eileen Leslie.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - This event has been cancelled due to all the wet weather, hot temperatures, and abundance of bugs. It will be rescheduled for later in the fall when the temperatures are more comfortable and the bugs are less active.
Friends of Chandor Gardens are invited to a guided nature walk of the new Chandor Nature Trail
This 1/2 mile walk through the Chandor Nature Trail will be lead by Christie Tull who is a Cross Timbers Master Naturalist Class of 2020 trainee, a member of the Cross Timbers Native Plant Society, is in the 2021 Cross Timbers Urban Forestry training, and a member of the Friends of Chandor Gardens.
Meet in the parking lot of Chandor Gardens, as the trailhead is right off the parking lot.
Make sure to wear closed toe shoes, long pants, sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, hat), and bring water. It is also highly recommended that you put on insect repellant with at least 20% DEET, as the mosquitoes and ticks are very active after all the rain we have had this spring.
For those who are interested in being able to identify flora and fauna along the trail we encourage you to download the free iNaturalist app. This app can easily be download onto a smart phone and provides the ability to quickly identify the name of what is being observed in nature. It is an excellent interactive tool for species identification, and it also allows users to actively participate in true research data collection. iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/ ) - iNaturalist is a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society. It is “Nature at your fingertips.”

Chandor Gardens Foundation Inc. is pleased to present a Wine & Words evening on March 12, 2022, at Chandor Gardens Mansion, starting at 7:00 P.M. (Doors open at 6:30) with guest speaker Dr. Ron Tyler presenting: The Art of Texas: 250 Years.
Come and enjoy a glass of wine while Dr. Ron Tyler shares a summary of beautiful illustrations and insights into how the art of Texas has captured the uniquely Texan culture formed over the centuries.
Ron Tyler is the editor of The Art of Texas: 250 Years, which tells the deeper story of Texas art, beginning with Spanish colonial paintings and moving through two and a half centuries of art in Texas.
The Art of Texas: 250 Years is a ten-by-twelve-inch hardcover book with more than 350 full-color illustrations and fourteen essays written by noted scholars, art historians, and curators with the intent to analyze and characterize Texas art on a grand scale. The essays in the book are arranged chronologically by subject, starting with Tyler’s essay on the history of Texas art from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and concludes with an essay by K. Robinson Edwards on “Liberty and Lone Star Modernism” in the twentieth century.
Ron Tyler is the retired Director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas (2006-2011). He is former Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin and Director of the Texas State Historical Association and the Center for Studies in Texas History at the University (1986-2006), during which time he was the editor-in-chief of The New Handbook of Texas (6 vols.; 1996 and now online) and the Southwestern Historical Quarterly (1986-2004). Before moving to Austin, he served for eighteen years as Curator of History and Director of Public Programs at the Carter.
Tyler is the author of numerous books on history and art including Santiago Vidaurri and the Southern Confederacy (1973), The Slave Narratives of Texas (co-editor, 1974), The Big Bend: A History of the Last Texas Frontier (1975), The Cowboy (photographs by Bank Langmore, 1975), Visions of America: Pioneer Artists in a New Land (1983), Audubon’s Great National Work: The Royal Octavo Edition of The Birds of America (1993), Prints of the West (1994), and Western Art, Western History: Collected Essays (2019).
Note: Ron will be available to sign copies of the book The Art of Texas: 250 Years (copies will be available for purchase) after the presentation, or if you already have a copy bring it with you to have Ron sign it for you.
Tickets are $35 (includes a glass of wine)

Friends of Chandor Gardens - Please join us for a fun and interesting adventure to Clark Gardens and the Vietnam War Memorial on Tuesday, April 5, 2022.
Opus Nova “Concert in the Gardens”
Monday, April 11, 2022 @ 7:00 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm)
Chandor Gardens Mansion, Weatherford, TX
Tickets: $50
Chandor Gardens Foundation Inc. is excited to bring Opus Nova Chamber Music Series to Chandor Gardens for a beautiful evening of chamber music featuring works by Mendelssohn and Weber.
Come and enjoy a glass of wine and light bites in the Great Room of the Chandor Gardens mansion while listening to exquisite chamber music, as it should be performed, in an intimate setting.
This concert presents two chamber music masterpieces - a beautiful String Quartet Op. 44 No.1 by Mendelssohn, and a virtuosic Clarinet Quintet Op. 34 by Weber.
Felix Mendelssohn was 28 years of age when he composed his D Major String Quartet, opus 44 #1. Of the three Opus 44 quartets, dating from 1837 to 1838, the D major quartet was actually the last to be composed. Mendelssohn seems to have been particularly proud of it, which may be the reason it was published as the first of the set. D Major is a radiant key for strings, and this exuberant work is among Mendelssohn’s finest chamber compositions.
Carl Maria von Weber, inspired by the charismatic virtuoso Heinrich Bärmann, favored the clarinet. Weber’s concerto-like Clarinet Quintet in B-Flat Major, Op. 34, which blends the composer’s operatic style with instrumental brilliance, will be performed by Stas Chernyshev, principal clarinetist of the Fort Worth Symphony

Many consider Frank Reaugh's oils and pastels some of the most poetic depictions of Western landscapes ever produced. This is his story!
Chandor Gardens Foundation Inc. is pleased to present a screening of the feature-length (52 minutes) documentary film Frank Reaugh: Pastel Poet of the Texas Plains, on November 19, 2022 at 7:00 pm in the Great Room at Chandor Gardens, Weatherford, TX, has well as having the film’s producer Marla Fields on hand to provide remarks and a Q&A session following the screening.
Artist Frank Reaugh (pronounced “Ray”) lived and worked in Dallas through the first half of the 20th Century. Working in the vein of American Impressionism, his pictures of longhorn steers roaming the landscape helped to define Texas. Reaugh was a prolific and influential artist who produced over seven thousand works, primarily small plein air sketches of Texas Longhorns in open prairie settings. Reaugh sketched scenes while riding with cattlemen during the height of Texas’s historic roundups, and he led annual sketch trips to some of Texas’s most spectacular and remote locations. He has been referred to as "The Dean of Texas Painters” and as “The Longhorn Leonardo”.
Tickets are $30 (includes wine/beer and a light snack)
NOTE: As an added bonus the Great Room and the rest of the Chandor House will be fully decorated for Christmas at the time of this event

The Friends of Chandor Gardens are planning to attend the 2:00 P.M. Matinee at Theatre Off the Square play "Baskerville" as a Friends of Chandor Gardens activity on Sunday February 19th.
Synopsis of "Baskerville":
Get your deerstalker cap on — the play’s afoot! Comedic genius Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) transforms Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny adventure. Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its newest heir. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters. Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be.
A group of seats will be reserved for us so we can sit together as a group. Tickets are $14.00, if we have10 or more in attendance. If you have not attended a Theater Off The Square play they are great. Friends of Chandor Gardens member Laurie Jones is President of TOTS.
We will need to know a head of time those who are intending to attend so that we have an idea of the number of seats to reserve. If you are interested in attending this event please let Ann Geer know at ajpkdg@gmail.com by January 31, 2023.
Then on the day of play please arrive a little early at the theater and go to the Box Office. Advise that you are with Friends of Chandor Gardens so that you will be charged the reduced group ticket price pf $14 and are seated in the Friends of Chandor Gardens section of the theater.
This will be a very entertaining performace.

Join us for the next installment in our ongoing “Wine & Words” Speaker Series the evening of Saturday, April 1, 2023 at Chandor Gardens, Weatherford, TX to hear the story of “Top O’ Hill Terrace: Poker to Preachers” by speaker Vickie Bryant, historian, author, curator, and pastor’s wife.
The story of Top O’ Hill Terrace, known as “Vegas before Vegas”, seems improbable, unbelievable, and even impossible. It is a Texas story stranger than fiction, but a story that is absolutely true.
On the surface, Top O’ Hill Terrace appeared to be an elegant tearoom located along the Bankhead Highway between Fort Worth and Dallas. However, on the underside, during the 1930’s and 1940’s lurked a glitzy speakeasy and notorious casino. Top O’ Hill Terrace was the “it” place to gamble before Las Vegas became the gambling mecca of the nation.
Top O’ Hill Terrace was a place where the rich and famous rubbed shoulders with the rich and infamous. Some of the casino’s more famous visitors included; Marlene Dietrich, Will Rogers, Mae West, John Wayne, Dean Martin, Hedy Lamarr, Howard Hughes, W. C. Fields, Lana Turner, Frank Sinatra, as well as high-profile gangsters like Bugsy Siegel, Bonnie Parker, and Clyde Barrow.
Fred Browning the clever and savvy owner of Top O’ Terrace casino had many powerful friends, but also had powerful enemies: law enforcement and Rev. J. Frank Norris, pastor of First Baptist Church and co-founder of Bible Baptist Seminary (now Arlington Baptist University). Norris vowed one day to own Top O’ Hill Terrace. His prediction came true in 1956 when the Bible Baptist Seminary, purchased the property and converted it from a casino to a seminary.
Speaker Vickie Bryant has spent the last 20 years collecting memorabilia, photographs, and stories about Top O’ Hill Terrace. Giving her the ability to pull her audience back in time to the days of moonshine and poker, or as she likes to say, from “Poker to Preachers.” The rich history began with a simple tearoom and evolved into illegal gambling, moonshine, brothels, and murder.
Presentation starts at 7:00 P.M. (Doors Open – 6:30 P.M.)

The next Friends of Chandor Gardens Members activity is a guided tour of Top O’ Hill Terrace (a Texas Historic Landmark known as “Vegas Before Vegas” ) on August 24, 2023 at 10:00 A.M.
Top O’ Hill Terrace is located at: Arlington Baptist University, 3001 West Division, Arlington, Texas 76012.
It is listed as one of the Top 4 Attractions in Arlington on Trip Advisor.
We will be guided by Vickie Bryant who has spent the last 20 years collecting memorabilia, photographs, and stories about Top O’ Hill Terrace, which gives her the ability to pull her audience back in time to the days of illegal gambling, moonshine, brothels, escape tunnels and murder.
On the surface, Top O’ Hill Terrace appeared to be an elegant tearoom located along the Bankhead Highway between Fort Worth and Dallas. However, on the underside, during the 1930’s and 1940’s lurked a glitzy speakeasy and notorious casino. Top O’ Hill Terrace was the “it” place to gamble before Las Vegas became the gambling mecca of the nation.
Top O’ Hill Terrace was a place where the rich and famous rubbed shoulders with the rich and infamous. Some of the casino’s more famous visitors included; Marlene Dietrich, Will Rogers, Mae West, John Wayne, Dean Martin, Hedy Lamarr, Howard Hughes, W. C. Fields, Lana Turner, Frank Sinatra, as well as high-profile gangsters like Bugsy Siegel, Bonnie Parker, and Clyde Barrow.
Carpool Option: For those who would like to carpool we will meet at Brookshires parking lot in Willow Park at 9:00 A.M. so that we can arrive at Top O’ Hill Terrace by 9:45 A.M. If you are interested in carpooling or are willing to help drive, please advise when you register for the tour.
Lunch Option: After the tour we can stop for lunch in the area. When we know how many are interested in staying for lunch we'll get a consensus on the restaurant and make a reservation.
Tour Length: 2 hours
Tour Fee: $10/person
It’s sure to be a fun morning!
** Please register for this tour by August 22 with Nancy Wester - 972-746-6078 (call or text) **

The next Friends of Chandor Gardens members tour is February 21, 2024 to W. K. Gorden Museum located at 65258 I-20 Mingus, TX.
Those part in this tour are asked to be at the museum at 10:30 A.M. (the tour will start at 10:45 A.M.).
The W. K. Gordon Museum and Research Center for Industrial History of Texas, a research facility of Tarleton State University, is a combined museum and special collections library. Located at the site of the Thurber ghost town, its interactive exhibits explore the birth and death of a company town. Thurber was one of the most important mine sites in Texas, a major manufacturer of paving bricks, and located near the oil field that helped make Texas a worldwide giant in petroleum production. The entire town of Thurber — every nail, shingle, and doorknob — was owned by the Texas and Pacific Coal Company. Residents lived in company houses, shopped at company stores, drank at company saloons, attended company schools, and worshipped in company-owned church buildings.
For those who would like to have lunch with the group after the tour, it has been planned for 12:30 P.M. at New York Hill Restaurant, 292 Co Rd 107, Mingus, TX 76463
Members please register for this tour by February 6, 2024

The next Friends of Chandor Gardens members tour, will be on May 15, 2024 to Bull LIon Ranch Wine Shop & Tordiglione Italian Market in Grandury starting at 11:30 AM. This is an opportunity to taste the various Bull LIon Ranch & Vineyard wines that Chuck Tordiglione mentioned during his talk at the Friends of Chandor Gardens Meeting in April.
Also, since the Bull LIon Ranch Wine Shop is on the Grabury Square, it will be a great opportunity to enjoy the many other shops on the Granbury Square.
Great opportunity to get to know fellow Friends members a little better, enjoy some great Texas wine, and just generally have a fun outing, as Chuck Tordiglione likes to say "That's Amore!"
The fee for the wine tasting is $20 and includes lite appetizers
