A Festive Summer Fundraiser LOCATION:Viles House\, 71 Stone Street\, Augusta DESCRIPTION:
The public is invited to participate in a summer fundraiser for the Frie nds of the Maine State Museum. The event, Making Your Mark!, will take place at Augusta’s beautiful and historic Viles House on Thurs day, June 27th from 5:30-7:30 pm. Tickets are $60, with proceeds to support initiatives at the Maine State Museum. This marvelous, memory-making insti tution houses vast collections that preserve Maine’s heritage, offers engag ing permanent and changing exhibits, and serves more school visitors each y ear than any museum in the state.
Making Your Mark! is inspired by the suffrage theme of the museum’s latest exhibitio n, Women’s Long Road – 100 Years to the Vote, and the evening’s en tertainment takes cues from the late 1910s and early 1920s.
The festi ve party will travel through the mansion’s first-floor parlors, dining room , living room, music room, and – assuming fine weather – the great outdoors . The 1816 building, refashioned several times over two centuries, features an eclectic combination of Federal, Italianate, and Colonial Revival style s, and an inviting, picturesque setting. This will be a fun opportunity to visit and take in the distinctive furnishings, wallpapers, paintings, and d ecorative art.
Talented actress-musician Birdie Newman Katz will perf orm songs of the suffrage era; a 3-D slide show will focus on the “New Woma n” at the turn of the 20th century; and a ten-minute suffrage pl aylet will capture the history of this century-long struggle in a virtual f lash.
Scrumptious hors d’oeuvres, fine wines, a celebratory punch, an d a silent auction will round out the cheery evening for a very good cause. Come make your mark. Tickets may be purchased online at bit.ly/FMSM-627 or call the Friends office a t 207-287-2304.
