A musical performance will be given by Andrew Wilkinson at the June 7 opening reception, as well as at times throughout the weekend.
Paul Steinbeiser, who specializes in native landscape design and custom stonework, will be available for consultations and discussions.
The reclaimed “Hannah Shaw” wagon house, circa 1830-1840, originally from Princeton, which he had relocated and restored, will be open for visitors to see on the grounds. His own home and other outbuildings are based on a 1780s Delaware Valley farmhouse.
