Bringing Natalie Home: An Exhibit of Natalie Van Vleck’s Art

After many years of being kept in storage, Natalie’s art will be on display in the newly renovated Van Vleck Gallery! In 1926, Natalie urged her parents to buy the saltbox house, which dates back to 1786 along with the accompanying farm land. She then built her art studio next door in 1928. This is the first comprehensive exhibit of Natalie’s artwork in the newly established gallery located inside the historic house. The exhibit opens on Friday, February 7 and her artwork will be on display throughout the year.
Exhibit Summer Hours: Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 4 PM and Saturdays, 10 AM to 2 PM |Van Vleck House
