Step back in time during our Vintage Homestead Weekend this November. Play the Old Course with authentic hickory sticks and gutta perch balls or test your shooting skills with over-under or side-by-side shotguns in our vintage shoot. Try your hand at fly casting or watch a traditional archery demonstration. Enjoy a formal afternoon tea, family dining etiquette luncheon and classic cocktails, along with other time-honored activities. Our ballroom dance classes will get you ready for an evening of dinner and dancing in the Dining Room where the Kool Kats will perform each night. In the theater, watch a classic silent movie with live piano accompaniment as well as some of Hollywood’s timeless films. The weekend concludes with an incredible Sunday brunch in the Dining Room.
