Special Summer Tours of Clayton
Entertaining the President: A Household at Work
Through August 1
It's the return of last year’s popular tour, Entertaining the President: A Household at Work, which focuses on Theodore Roosevelt’s July 4, 1902 visit to Clayton. This tour is extremely rich in archival documentation, much of which is included in the tour, such as receipts for preparations at Clayton and newspaper articles that trace the planning of celebration events.
Again this summer, patriotic bunting decorates Clayton’s porte-cochere. Inside, the Fricks’ custom-made dining room table is extended to its full length, as it would have been for the luncheon that was held in the president's honor on that day.
The gorgeous Gustav Beer gown that Mrs. Frick wore to a reception given at President Roosevelt at the White House is also on view.
Members free; Active military free (through September 5); General admission $12;
Seniors and students $10; Children 16 and under $6.
Reservations are strongly recommended. Call 412-371-0600.
