Lakewold’s Executive Director, Stephanie Walsh, is pleased with this partnership that will enable visitors to see areas of the historic mansion that are not normally open for public viewing. 

The participating designers, each responsible for a single room or area of the house, are providing their design services free of charge. Some are using their own resources, while others have arranged for donations of materials, furniture and fixtures they require. Visitors to the Showhouse will be able to see these artful designs as presented in a historic home. With the gardens beginning their spring bloom cycle, the 10-acre estate will be a must-experience spring activity.
