With puppets and activities, garden educator Kathi Gariepy will teach families about the habits and sounds of the owls of New England and then lead a walk outside to look for some of these nocturnal creatures.

From Audubon’s aviary imagery to the sublime paintings of the Hudson River School to the proliferation of Civil War monuments to the impact of the Centennial International Exposition, nineteenth century American and European artists both reflected and revealed the physical, social, and political landscape while simultaneously embracing global influences.
