Please join us for an Imagining Charrette for the Lippitt House Museum
What are the possibilities for this 152-year-old historic Victorian mansion museum, the leading symbol of Providence’s Golden Age of industry? What more can we do to leverage our history – industry and labor, immigration, fine craftsmenship, women’s leadership and public service – to serve the needs of today? What could we be doing as both a museum and a vital, treasured community and neighborhood resource?
Please come. We want to hear your ideas, learn your needs and benefit from your knowledge as we imagine the possibilities for the Lippitt House Museum. Please join your neighbors and other creative thinkers in arts, culture, labor, business and civic life at one of our three imagining charrettes.
Choose one of the three sessions that best meets your schedule. Each session is 1.5 hours long, though we invite you to arrive in the half hour before we start to explore the house. Located on the corner of Angell and Hope Street, parking is available on the streets surrounding the Museum.
Background:
Occupied by four generations of the Lippitt family for 114 years, the Lippitt House Museum has one of the best preserved Victorian interiors in America, allowing visitors to step into Providence’s Golden Age. A designated National Historic Landmark, Lippitt House Museum offers guided tours, special exhibitions, lectures, art installations, concerts, and family programs.
Following the Lippitt family's example of public service, the Museum's cultural programming promotes civic engagement, the arts, and history of Providence.
