Check Out Longue Vue House and Gardens

Long time readers know that we periodically highlight area cultural attractions that offer free or low cost programs to the public. We firmly believe in the healing power of the arts and we want to insure that cancer patients and survivors are aware of these local opportunities

Longue Vue House and Gardens was designed and built between 1939 and 1942 for Edgar and Edith Stern and their three children by landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman and architects William and Geoffrey Platt. Shipman, the Platt brothers, and the Sterns worked closely together to create a masterpiece of utility and beauty uniting the house and gardens.
Consisting of a main house, 8 dependencies, 5 structures, 14 garden areas, and 22 fountains and ponds located on an eight-acre site, Longue Vue House and Gardens is one of the last Country Place Era homes built in the United States.

One program, in particular, may be of interest to readers of this blog.
