SUMMARY:Country House Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Country House Conference comes to Webb Deane Stevens the first weekend of November\, with a daylong symposium and two days of touring house museums and private homes in Greater Hartford and along the Connecticut shoreline. The Webb\, Deane\, and Stevens Houses may not look much like country houses at a glance\, situated at the center of Old Wethersfield\, but the day’s speakers will explore a wider understanding of the “country” as a place of escape and imagination. During the 20th century\, thanks to automobile travel and influencers like Wallace Nutting\, historic towns and their houses became as much an escape as rural byways. The program includes a lecture by WDS Executive Director Brenton Grom. \nThis conference is an annual production of the American Country House Foundation and has been underwritten in 2023 by the Classical American Homes Preservation Trust. \nNovember 3-5\, 2023\, with a symposium at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum on November 4.
