This season, more than 40,000 visitors joined us for over 200 events and programs, from mansion tours and guided hikes to theatrical performances, classes, and workshops led by local experts.

This year also marked the 20th anniversary of the Castle Preservation Society, with special events celebrating the history of Lucknow Estate, including Petting Zoo Weekend and our gallery exhibit, From Private Estate to Public Treasure: Lucknow after Thomas and Olive Plant.

We’re grateful to our staff, volunteers, visitors, and supporters who made this milestone season possible. Your continued support helps us preserve and share the history, architecture, and landscapes of this remarkable National Historic Landmark.
