“Junk from the Trunk; Leisurely Linden Place” Exhibit
September 18 - October 31, 2013 |
Cocktails in the parlors, family reunions on the lawn, day trips to the shore, croquet in the gardens, bridge in the breezeway and music as a background to it all. This was leisure time spent at Linden Place Mansion for generations of DeWolf and Colt family members.
Linden Place Museum’s current “Junk from the Trunk” exhibit explores these hours of recreation and relaxation by showcasing DeWolf and Colt family memorabilia from the museum’s own collection. “Leisurely Linden Place” will introduce visitors to photographs, games, record albums, travel accessories and more, giving a whole new perspective on the history of this fascinating Bristol family who lived at Linden Place for seven generations.
This special exhibit is included in museum admission and can be viewed through October 31, 2013. Linden Place is open for tours Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, and by appointment. Admission is $8, $6 for seniors and $5 for children and free for Linden Place members.
