Lynnewood Hall to Welcome Public Inside for the First Time in More Than 80 Years With a ‘Gilded Age’ Floral Exhibition
For the first time in more than 80 years, the public will be able to step inside historic Lynnewood Hall. The 110-room estate, located in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, will open its doors during Fleurs de Villes THE GILDED AGE, a floral exhibition inspired by HBO’s “The Gilded Age.”
The exhibition will run from September 25 through October 4, with tickets now on sale at feverup.com.
Throughout the mansion, guests will see fresh-floral mannequins inspired by characters and fashion from the HBO series, created by local floral designers and displayed across the historic property.
Karen Marshall, Co-founder of Fleurs de Villes, said the organization is pleased to bring the exhibition to Lynnewood Hall, describing it as one of the most extraordinary surviving Gilded Age estates. She said the mansion’s architecture and history provide a fitting backdrop for the exhibition’s focus on artistry and storytelling tied to “The Gilded Age,” and said the event offers visitors a new way to experience the property while supporting its ongoing restoration.
Built between 1897 and 1899 for industrialist Peter A.B. Widener, Lynnewood Hall is the second-largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in the United States. The exhibition marks a significant moment in the estate’s preservation, offering the public rare access to the property while supporting its continued restoration.
