Upcoming Events

Lecture: Holiday Lights: New and Different with the Zuckermans

Dec5

This presentation is designed to let you experience the holiday season even if you can’t be there in person. You will learn about the highlights of the new season’s store windows, as well as hear different anecdotes and stories. We will visit the zoos and botanical gardens to see a different way to appreciate this time of year. We will also travel to places outside New York City where the holidays receive special treatment. For example, you will venture to Westchester County for great light shows and activities at some of the historic houses in the area. Then we will travel up to Newport, Rhode Island, where the glorious mansions of the rich and famous shine during the holiday season. Join us for this experience and enjoy the holidays in a new way.
