Members of the Battenville Jazz Septet, one of seven bands in the lineup for International play music ont he porch day, august 29, 2026.
Play Music on the Porch Day was a celebratory culmination of a blissful summer of opportunities to connect as a community. While summer may be waning, there's plenty in the season ahead! Take a look at what's on the calendar for September, and we'll keep you apprised as the leaves turn.
Along with a handful of engaging upcoming events, keep in mind—museum admission is FREE in 2026! It's been wonderful to share "The Big House" this season with new and returning visitors, and through extended hours (Friday - Monday, 10 AM - 4 PM). We're finding that many of our neighbors are enjoying access for the first time, or for the first time in many years. Even visits comprised of multiple generations within the same family! It's been a gift to experience the buildings and collection through the eyes of all ages, so come one, come all, and come back again!
