Mount Gulian Historic Site will offer its exclusive White Glove Tour three Wednesdays in September – September 2, September 16 and September 30 at 1pm.
This special tour highlights items from the collection that are rarely on display. Following a tour of the house and grounds, visitors will have the opportunity to wear the trademark curatorial white gloves to examine artifacts up close and out from the collection storage rooms, giving a seldom found perspective of the past.
“We rarely offer our “White Glove” tour to the general public,” says Elaine Hayes, Executive Director. “We hope out of town visitors, our neighbors, and local residents will stop by and avail themselves of this unique opportunity.”
Visitors will have the opportunity to hold and examine artifacts representing 300 years of Mount Gulian's history, which spans from Native American times, through the Colonial Era, the American Revolution, and the Golden Age of the Hudson Valley. Items selected for this tour include a Verplanck family bible from the 17th century; documents and artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries; women’s and men’s Victorian era clothing; military artifacts and more!
Admission for the “White Glove Tour” is $20 adults; $18 seniors; $\10 children; free for children under 6 and Mount Gulian members. Membership is open to the public and may be purchased day of the event. Registration is strongly suggested. To register, please contact Mount Gulian at 845-831-8172 or info@mountgulian.org.
