Clemmons Family Farm Barn House Tour Saturday

Past event
Sep 7, 2019, 10 to 11:30 AM

Tours of the Historic Barn House at the Clemmons Family Farm, with special exhibit: "Travels of the Intrepid Couple". Saturdays 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., September 7-Oct. 12.

This exhibit showcases the hidden story of a remarkable couple and a rare African-American owned family farm in Vermont, and how they helped build bridges across differences of race, culture and geographic settings for nearly 60 years-- through art, community and a sense of place. It includes a beautiful collection of art, textiles, panels, photographs and listening stations with recordings of the wonderful storytelling of 96-year-old Lydia Clemmons about her travels with husband Jack, the people they met along the way, and unique art from North, West, East, Central and Southern Africa.

New: Tour the Barn House while your children (ages 8-11) experience Jamaican Music, Culture and Storytelling in the Authentica Art Gallery at the Farm.
