Join us on Saturday, May 11 to celebrate the expansion of Decisive Moments at Planting Fields: The Photography of Mattie Edwards Hewitt and Frances Benjamin Johnston! Hewitt and Johnston, who photographed Planting Fields in the 1920s, were pioneering women that dominated and ultimately defined the fields of landscape and architecture photography.
To celebrate this incredible exhibit, Coe Hall will be open for self-guided and curator-led tours with exhibition curator, Emily Leger. Featuring never-before-seen photos on loan from the Nassau Country Photo Archives, tour-goers will view historic images of the Olmsted Brothers-designed landscape and explore the personalities and lifestyles of the Coe Family at Planting Fields!
