Please join our Pettengill-Morron Historical House Museum Volunteers and Docents on Sunday, October 5 for our October First Sunday Open House. This date will be the final opportunity to view this season’s “The Fine Art of Hospitality” exhibit as we will soon begin preparations for the 2014 Holiday House Tour.

On October 5,  we will be highlighting autumnal décor throughout the home as well as welcoming all to enjoy our gift bazaar on the front porch. Several of our volunteers are working on the project of cataloging our linen collection.

Stop by and see them hard at work! Look for a special treat at the conclusion of your tour. Join us between the hours of 1 – 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 5.

We hope to see all of our Moss Bradley Neighbors!!

“Miss Morron’s World Travels” Exhibition at Pettengill-Morron Historical Home Held Over Until November 3

Due to the popularity of this exhibit, we are pleased to announce that we will be able to share the “Miss Morron’s World Travels” exhibition at our Pettengill-Morron Historical Home thru Sunday, November 3.

If you haven’t already had the opportunity to  enjoy the literally hundreds of items on display (including her vast collection of Louis Vuitton luggage), please do join us on either Sunday, October 6 or Sunday, November 3 between 1-4 p.m.

Cost to tour is $7 per adult and $3 per child.

In 1912, Miss Morron took her first world tour with her father via steamship.  After that trip, travel became her life passion. In addition to the above mentioned items, you’ll be able to view Miss Morron’s travel wardrobe, custom dinnerware and fine china along with pieces of art she purchased on her trips abroad.
