Over the past year, the renewed love and passion for the Nathaniel Russell House was a reminder of how special this historic landmark is the world of historic preservation.
Valerie Perry, House Museum Manager
When was your last visit to the Nathaniel Russell House, and do you know what makes it so special? In honor of Preservation Month, we invite YOU to go behind-the-scenes of the Nathaniel Russell House and focus on the specific preservation methods and techniques uniquely and expertly on display at this 1808 historic house museum. House Museum Manager, Valerie Perry, will tap into her 20+ years at the Nathaniel Russell House to point out the details of the trompe l’oeil cornice and molding, faux lapis lazuli painted baseboards in the Drawing Room, and other restoration techniques on display. For this special experience, enjoy a glass of wine while diving deeper into the world of historic preservation at this beautifully restored National Landmark and have the opportunity to see spaces normally closed to the public, with the opportunity to ask questions. Space is limited and not handicap accessible, due to the historic nature of the house. No elevator available. Tickets are required, $40 each.
Event is recommended for ages 15 and up (21+ required for refreshments).
