As we conclude this festive season, you are invited to be our guest for an entertaining gallery talk—and the last chance to see the holiday decorations before they come down! The Popes entertained many guests over the holidays with “tea, supper and games at cards,” live music, dances, and perhaps most importantly—good conversation. Join us and learn more about the invited guests, who played the custom-made Steinway piano, what games the Pope family enjoyed most, and much more!

The first Sunday of every month, tour the collection at your own pace from 12 – 4 pm, with interpreters in every room to answer questions. At 1 pm, enjoy an informal gallery talk (subjects range from Chinese Pottery to Secrets of the Cellar.) From June–October, join a guided estate walk at 2 pm to explore the property from the Wild Garden to the scenic Overlook, with commentary from your guide.
