Events

Museum Meetup | Memento Mori

Feb 19, 2026

6:00PM to 8:00PM

Step inside the Farm House Museum, where time stands still and the shadows whisper. Explore crafts and activities inspired by real Victorian funerary and mourning rituals—arrange your own funeral bouquet, etch your name upon a casket plaque, write your epitaph and sit for the faux-est mortem photograph. Complimentary snacks… for the living.

Art Walk: Geometry of Nature

Feb 25, 2026

12:00PM to 1:00PM

The spiral of a shell, the symmetry of a flower, the seemingly impossible structure of snowflakes. Hidden in the flora and fauna of nature is a structure and a rhythm found in geometry and mathematics. Join a free guided tour of several botanical and nature-themed sculptures that center around the shapes and structure of life.

Curator’s Tour: Tell Me a Story

Feb 26, 2026

5:00PM to 6:00PM
