Brochuren fortæller, at Huntington bibliotek, kunstsamlinger, og botaniske haver udgør "en af landets store kulturelle og uddannelsesmæssige centre."
The brochure says that the Huntington library, art collections, and botanical gardens form "one of the nation's great cultural and educational centers."
"Det er en privat, non-profit institution grundlagt i 1919 af Henry E. Huntington, en usædvanlig forretningsmand, der er bygget et finansielt imperium, der omfattede jernbane virksomheder og fast ejendom bedrifter i Southern California."
"It is a private, non-profit institution founded in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington, an exceptional businessman who built a financial empire that included railroad companies and real estate holdings in Southern California."
Brochuren siger også, at Huntington var en "mand med visioner - interesserede i bøger, kunst og haver."
The brochure also says that Huntington was a "man of vision -- interested in books, art, and gardens".
Min mor og jeg havde en vidunderlig tid touring de haver i den kølige januar luften (måske 65 F) under en overskyet, men lyse, himlen.
My mother and I had a wonderful time touring the gardens in the cool January air (maybe 65 F), under an overcast, but bright, sky.
