Previous One-Time Events

The Westerner Novel Tea

The Westerner... a Postcard to the Girl He Left Behind is the newest novel by Carol Tonnesen, author of the Postcard Mysteries (available in our gift shop). Guest joined us for iced tea/lemonade and tea sandwiches as Carol spoke about her newest novel before leading a tour of Glendower, giving the history of the property as well as how it ties to the events of her book. All guests received a signed copy of the book.

Native American "All Nations Drum" Circle

Guests joined us at Glendower Mansion as we welcomed the All Nations Drum Group. This inter-tribal group offered a blend of dance, drums, story-telling and other culturally significant practices, from several tribal nations, into a performance that was as educational as it was entertaining.

Grand Opening of Harmon Museum

In February, we finally held a ribbon cutting for and Grand Opening for Harmon Museum and its new handicapped accessible entrance. It only took a year and a half. Harmon Museum (formally the Warren County History Center) was opened with a band and free food for all!

Living w/ History: Bus Tour

Guests went mobile as they joined Harmon Museum Curator and Associate Professor of Fine Arts, Dr. Michael Coyan, on March 23rd, for an architectural survey of the area. This 90 minute bus tour looked at 19th and early 20th century designed building in Lebanon, Harveysburg, Waynesville, Springboro and Turtlecreek Township.

Arts Alive Gala

On March 16, 2019, guest came to celebrate the arts with a night of dinner and art when the Warren County History Center opened its doors for Art Alive! A cocktail hour led to a catered, locally sourced, dinner by The Garden Gourmet. The night was rounded out with painting lessons, gallery tours, an art showing, live auction, raffles, games (and more)!

Art Class: ​Bob Ross Painting

Bob Ross certified painter and instructor, Nick Reynolds, gave two classes in the style of Bob Ross himself on March 16 of 2019. Attendees were given the supplies and instruction to make their very own "happy trees". 

Art Class: ​Ambigrams with Beth Gully

On June 20th, 2019, author / Illustrator, Beth Gully, taught a class on how to create ambigrams at Harmon Museum. An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when viewed or interpreted from a different direction, perspective, or orientation. In Beth's case, when you flip one of her drawings upside down, you see a whole new image that was hidden there all along!

Craft Class: Holiday Centerpiece Workshop

On November 15th, 2019, guests set the mood for their Holiday gathering with a handcrafted floral centerpiece they made themselvers with a little help from Donna and the team at Aretz Florists. 

All materials (including fresh flowers and candles) were included in the ticket price.
