Events throughout the year, including our Harvest Dinner, Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, Easter Brunch, and Summer Hootenanny are beloved traditions in our families.

Our beautiful chapel regularly hosts special events ranging from lectures to recitals to our Salon Series of concerts. Please see our Calendar Page for more information.
