Enjoy a pleasant morning in one of The Morton Arboretum’s most historic indoor spaces, the Founders Room. The only remaining structure of Joy Morton’s original estate, this room housed the original library. Along with regal, detailed woodwork, light filters in through a series of stained glass Medallions. Hear stories of these unusual stained glass Medallions, as seen through the eyes of naturalist, interpreter, and writer Cindy Crosby. Leave with a new appreciation for the craftsmanship and attention to details that make this historic 1920s space such a treasure.
COVID-19 Precautions: Program participants must abide by the Arboretum’s safety guidelines.
