Highfield Hall and Gardens “Home” Exhibit
Featuring Wallace Nutting
Exhibit

The
exhibition focuses on the concept of home and its physical, spiritual
and symbolic elements. Co-executive director Joanne Ingersoll has
devoted one room entirely to the legacy of Wallace Nutting who she
felt crafted an iconic image of the American home. Joanne feels that
Nutting preservation of several colonial homes from destruction sets
him apart from other furniture makers of his time. On loan are several
pieces of Nutting furniture, including a very rare settee, photographs,
silhouettes, treenware pieces and ironwork from the collection of
Sharon and Kenny Lacasse.
