Spring comes early to Chinqua Penn with early bloomers throughout March climaxing in the Tulip season in April.
In March we are featuring a special focus on Betsy and her mother for Women’s history month on the house tour.
The April events are:
• Spring Revival, Chinqua Penn’s annual flower show, from April 1 to April 26. More than 7,000 tulips and other flowering bulbs were planted, in addition to hundreds of naturalized bulbs and other perennial favorites. Regular admission applies.
• A behind-the-scenes “The Art of Tile” tour. Extensive tile work is still primarily in its original location throughout Chinqua Penn. The approximately 90-minute tour also covers entirely new material throughout the house as well as the adjacent Chinese pagoda and items long stored in the mansion’s basement. Tour size is limited. Tours are on Saturdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Group tours are available by appointment. Tickets are $30 adults, $25 for senior citizens, students and the military, and $20 for youngsters 6 to 16.
• An Easter egg hunt on April 11 for children ages three to 10. Regular admission applies, but kids under 12 are free with an adult.
For more information, call 336-349-4576.
The mansion is a day trip from most of central North Carolina.
