Workshops, Events, and News
We are closing for the season!! Come visit us on or before September 28, 2025. We will be closed for the winter but will be reopening in Spring 2026. Keep your eyes on our social media for special Fall and Winter workshops.
Workshop Information
Through workshops and demonstrations, we foster learning and community engagement. We encourage visitors to participate in these events, creating a shared space of learning, healing, and growth.
Découpage Workshop
Découpage is the process of gluing paper, fabric, or other printed material onto a surface using layers of adhesive for the purpose of decoration. It is a very old practice with a fascinating history. Come play with us and try your hand at this papercraft where we will decorate some seasonally themed items, just in time for Spooky Season!
Be sure to arrive early and visit the historic house and grounds. Admission to these is by donation.
