Letter from the Director

Dear Friends,

After a relatively quiet January, things seem to be picking up with the turn of the calendar page. Our winter children’s programs kick off this week, we’ll be hanging a new art exhibit. Imaginature, in the Wisner House, and the aroma of baking scones will once again fill the house with the return of the Secret Tea Room.  Be sure to check the website for a complete listing of all the programs we have to offer, you don’t want to miss out on the fun.

Until next time,

 

.
