Coming Soon!
Usually around this time of the year, we’re selling tickets to our annual fundraiser Home & Garden Tour. However, we don’t feel comfortable asking for people to open their homes to the public at this time.
Rather than cancel our event, we’re very pleased to announce that we’re developing a Virtual Home & Garden Tour!
The video, featuring Betty Meredith’s photographs (from Photos by Betty) of the exteriors of local homes and gardens with an introduction over the town by Picnic Studios, will be shared here on our website, as well as online via Facebook and Youtube, for you to enjoy from your own home.
Our annual Home & Garden Tour is a key fundraiser that helps us cover our operational costs for the Museum. This year, instead of selling tickets, we will be sharing the video of the virtual tour for free and simply encouraging a donation. Stay tuned for more information on when the video will be making its public debut!
Our tentative launch date is July 9th, 2020!
