Description
Join paint color expert Sally Zimmerman, senior preservation services manager at Historic New England, for an in-depth paint tour of two North Shore properties. Cogswell's Grant and Beauport reveal their owners' pioneering efforts to portray period color in their homes in the early twentieth century. Both houses provided color references for the Twentieth Century Colors of America paint palette. Each guest receives the Twentieth Century Colors of America paint card and guide. Tour begins at Cogswell's Grant. Refreshments at Beauport are included.
