Winter Program Series: Lifting the Curtain: Behind the Scenes of Museum Work
January 23 – April 10, 2025
Tickets: $25 Non-Member Adult; $20 Member Adult

With 11 historic properties under its care, The Preservation Society of Newport County is constantly working behind the scenes to safeguard history—work that often goes unseen by the public. Until now!

This winter, the Preservation Society invites you to join their small, intimate programs and tours for a rare glimpse into ongoing research and restoration projects. Engage directly with curators, conservators, and researchers as they share insights into the Society’s collections and preservation efforts. Topics range from architecture and interiors to the depiction of Gilded Age women in art.

The series begins on February 6 with Chief Curator’s Choice, an in-person and online talk by Director of Museum Affairs and Chief Curator Leslie Jones, highlighting current preservation work across the Society’s properties.

Space is limited, so reserve your tickets today!
