SUMMARY:CT Historic Garden Days
DESCRIPTION:Join us and 15 other CT Historic Sites to celebrate the 21st annual CT Historic Gardens Day! \nEnjoy yoga on the lawn with our friends at Soulshine Yoga\, complimentary refreshments\, guided tours of our Amy Cogswell Colonial Revival Garden\, and a free garden talk with Webb Dean Stevens’ Head Gardener Peter Winne at 1 pm. \nSave $1 off the price of regular museum admission for exhibitions and guided historic house tours of the Webb\, Deane\, and Stevens Houses. Together\, the houses represent a series of significant milestones in the military\, political\, social\, and economic history that saw America’s transformation from a series of colonies into a concerted nation. Admission includes access to two new exhibitions: Out of the Attic: A Century of Collecting\, which showcases a dazzling array of pieces\, some of them family heirlooms\, that allow us to ask: “What is a collection” and “why is a gathering of objects significant?” and How to Build a Georgian House: Preservation in Action\, which offers a fascinating step-by-step explanation of 18th-century construction techniques through architectural fragments and interpretive panels. And remember to use your Passport – bring your CT’s Historic Gardens brochure (or pick one up at any of the member gardens)\, have it initialed at three locations\, and you’ll receive a free packet of notecards featuring the works of the CHG Day Poster Art Contest winners. \n10 am: Yoga on the Lawn with Soulshine.
