Bellingrath Gardens and Home will continue a longstanding tradition when it celebrates the legacy of its founder, Walter Bellingrath, on Sunday, August 6, his birthday. On Founder’s Day, admission to the Gardens is complimentary to all Mobile and Baldwin County residents, but there is an additional charge to tour the Bellingrath Museum Home. Born in Atlanta on August 6, 1869, Walter Bellingrath was Mobile’s first Coca-Cola bottler. He and his wife, Bessie, created Bellingrath Gardens from a former fishing camp along the Fowl River, which Bellingrath purchased in 1917. The Bellingraths opened the Gardens to the public for the first time on April 7, 1932.
