Klingle Mansion was built in 1823 on land given to Joshua Peirce by his father Isaac Peirce. Joshua established a tree nursery on the land, and called the area Linnaean Hill.
Joshua and his wife Susannah had no children and so passed the estate to their adopted their nephew--Joshua Klingle--after whom it is now named.
Today this space is used as the headquarters of the park. It is not open to the public.
