Bolton Hall Museum’s 2nd Saturday programs began again last month after the long pandemic closure.  We welcomed Over 50 visitors on October 9th, and we hope you can join us at 1 p.m. on November 13th  for November’s program about the architecture of Richard Neutra.  Neutra was a leader in the Mid-century Modern  movement of the 1950’s and 60’s and his houses are now collectibles.  Our speaker for this program is Dr. Barbara Lamprecht who researched and wrote about Neutra’s life and his philosophy of biorealism and how it influenced his creations.
