Sponsors of the event are L.& J.G. Stickley, Inc. and Ida Lindsey China Company. Throughout both days, special workshops - focusing on the history of the Arts & Crafts movement, the printmaking revival, modern-day bungalow building and old-fashioned container gardening - will be offered in the Carriage House on the property. On Saturday (only) from 3 to 4 p.m., noted historian and preservationist Tom Noel ("Dr. Colorado") will talk about Charles Boettcher and Lookout Mountain.
