The Arboretum at Penn State

We’ll begin our day with a guided tour of the The H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens, featuring 10 acres of themed garden spaces and another 14 acres of rolling meadows and walking paths to explore. Within the cultivated gardens, visitors will find seasonal displays, specialty gardens, and water features.

Palmer Museum of Art: Made in PA and Made in PA on Paper

Our guided tour will focus on these two special exhibitions at the Palmer Museum of Art. MADE IN PA highlights post-1945 paintings, sculpture, mixed-media assemblages, and installations by artists who hail from Pennsylvania or who have made their homes and sustained their careers in the Keystone State. MADE IN PA on Paper features a selection of prints, drawings, and watercolors from the permanent collection by artists who, through birth or residence, can claim a connection with the Keystone State. Among the artists represented in the exhibition are Charles Demuth, Benjamin West, Mary Cassatt, Dox Thrash, Alan Freelon, Riva Helfond, and William Trost Richards.

Price: $120 members, $130 non-members. Includes museum admission and guided tours, transportation, lunch, snacks, taxes, & driver gratuities
