Summer BloomFest: Behind the Layers Historic Mural Restoration House Tour
Step inside our historic house for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of our most captivating features: a hand-painted historic mural in our Ballroom currently being restored to its former glory.
This guided tour will take participants through the house for a brief overview of the property to tell the story of the Stevens and Coolidge families and then bring participants up to the mural. Here, paint conservator, Lisa Mehlin will discuss her current paint conservation work and how she delicately cleans, stabilizes, and revives these walls to their original colors, uncovering details hidden for decades. From artistic technique to historical significance, this tour reveals how preserving the past brings new life to the present.
