Located in Norwalk, Connecticut, Lockwood-Mathews recently re-opened after being closed for a two-year renovation project. VSNY attendees have been offered a rare opportunity to visit the museum before public hours, allowing for a more intimate experience. Trained docents will lead a 90-minute tour of the mansion, including the upcoming Irish heritage exhibit, which will be unveiled the week of St. Patrick’s Day.
