Summer at Bartow-Pell

Recently Brittney helped plan a winter event at the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum, a historical house nearby, on a cold snowy day. We had lots of fun there last summer at a vintage baseball game and First Friday celebrations with live music. We loved romping around the gorgeous gardens.
