This class introduces students to the rewarding process of portrait painting in oils. Working from photographs, (some provided but students are encouraged to bring their own references if they’d like) students will learn to block in the head, mix realistic skin tones, and develop depth and likeness through color, light, and brushwork. Beginners will be guided through foundational concepts, while intermediate students can deepen their practice with individual feedback.

This course provides practical tools and techniques to help individuals effectively manage their finances.

Participants will also gain insights into financial planning, debt management, and smart spending habits. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to create and maintain a budget that supports financial stability and long-term success.

The most successful music group and the third-highest-selling artist in the history of America’s Got Talent! These classically trained, versatile tenors have performed more than 1,700 concerts around the world, including headline shows in Las Vegas, China, and a 24-city tour of the United Kingdom. Recently, they were honored to be included among the top 50 acts in the world, and the only vocal group from the United States invited to appear on NBC’s America’s Got Talent: The Champions.

Warm up with the smells and stories of a 19th-century holiday kitchen at Fireside Feast! Throughout the day, site staff will demonstrate the preparation of a traditional Victorian-era dish on the kitchen’s 1889 Grand Quaker woodburning stove.

Guests are invited to drop in anytime to observe different stages of historic cooking in action, from fire tending and ingredient prep to simmering and serving. It’s a special chance to experience the rhythms of holiday foodways just as the Starr family might have had over a century ago.

Please note: This is a demonstration-only event. No food will be served or tasted. The experience is included with regular house admission and takes place indoors, with small groups admitted to the kitchen to ensure an up-close and engaging visit.

We’re offering two dates to make it easier to fit this festive experience into your holiday season. Join us on the day that works best for you!

Admission fees apply.
