Weston...What Lies Beneath Exhibit

The new exhibit "Weston...What Lies Beneath" - The yard of one of Weston’s oldest homes, the Peter Thorp House, reveals its past lives. Through objects, rare photographs, videos, and hands-on activities, discover what lies beneath and who lived above. Kids can dig for artifacts in the exhibit's fun Kids Corner.

​

An exploration of how the past finds interesting ways of revealing itself to the present. From coins to pottery to pipes and everything in between, these discarded treasures allow for a glimpse into the past. Also explored will be past owners, including former opera sensation, James Melton, and their influence on the home’s evolution. Through objects, rare photographs, videos, and hands-on activities, discover what lies beneath and who lived above.

​

This exhibit has been funded in part by the generous donations of @peterthorphouse followers from all over the world! Also funded in part by our annual sponsors: Fairfield County Bank, KMS Team at Compass, Pullman & Comley, as well as the Daniel E. Offutt, III Charitable Trust.
