Celebrate the work and legacy of Asher Benjamin (1773-1845), one of the most influential members of the first generation of American architects. Take in a full day of learning and reflection — and the Fall foliage, of course! — at the site of his first formal architectural commission, the Phelps-Hatheway House & Garden in Suffield, Connecticut.
What would make a Sunday afternoon in a beautiful, historic barn more lovely? Adding an international ensemble of celebrated professional musicians! Pizzazz Strings will provide elegant music amidst the soaring timbers of the Hatheway Barn on this late summer day.
What could be more pleasant than a summer afternoon in the country? A summer afternoon at the Phelps-Hatheway House & Garden, of course! Once again, Phelps-Hatheway’s museum will open for one day each month for tours of its collections. Come and immerse yourself in the 18th and 19th century as staff introduce you to the families who graced our site for hundreds of years. View the gardens and stop by our Visitor’s Center for charming gifts and a peek at the newest installation by artist Lynne Centore.
