From Winterthur to the White House
Winterthur and Tavern Lunch
Thursday July 21, 2022
In 1961, the First Lady appointed Henry Francis du Pont to lead her project to restore the White House interiors. The redesign became a history lesson for the country and awakened an interest in preservation and interior design that is still felt today. For the first time, the story of this historic partnership will be told at Winterthur, the inspiration for Mrs. Kennedy’s project with a special exhibit in the gallery. Take the guided house tour Walking in Jackie’s Footsteps. Time will be allowed to visit the gardens via Tram and gift shop.
A full course lunch of soup (including the famous mushroom soup) or salad, wonderful entree choices, dessert and beverages will be enjoyed prior to your visit at the wonderful historical Buckley’s Tavern.
Package includes motor coach transportation, driver’s gratuity, lunch, guided tours, exhibits and tour leader.
