Weston...What Lies Beneath Exhibit

The new exhibit "Weston...What Lies Beneath" - The yard of one of Weston’s oldest homes, the Peter Thorp House, reveals its past lives. Through objects, rare photographs, videos, and hands-on activities, discover what lies beneath and who lived above. Kids can dig for artifacts in the exhibit's fun Kids Corner.

An exploration of how the past finds interesting ways of revealing itself to the present. From coins to pottery to pipes and everything in between, these discarded treasures allow for a glimpse into the past. Also explored will be past owners, including former opera sensation, James Melton, and their influence on the home’s evolution. Through objects, rare photographs, videos, and hands-on activities, discover what lies beneath and who lived above.
