September 24, 2015 Episode.

What do the FBI, Monticello, the Smithsonian, the National Museum of Natural History, the Autry Museum of Western History, and our own Deepwood Museum and Gardens have in common? Why, curator-art theft expert-executive director Lynne Richardson of little old Salem!

Lynne is an energetic, enthusiastic, charismatic, natural teacher-type person who has taken over the reins as the executive director of Deepwood Museum & Gardens, formerly Historic Deepwood Estate.  One of her first recommendations to their board of directors was to change their name to better describe the character of Deepwood.

Lynne described some of the ways they are opening up Deepwood to welcome visitors of all ages:  fancy teas, educational programs for kids, Christmas open houses, heritage talks, informative nature trails through the Lord & Schryver gardens, wine & brew festivals, vintage flea markets, and even a spectacular Halloween Party on October 31!  They are following the tradition of previous owners of Deepwood (Dr. Luke Port house, originally) through the years by opening their doors and gates to entertain the folks of Salem.

After talking with her today, it was so very evident that we in Salem are extremely lucky to have her in our midst!  Check out their website to see what fun things are coming your way!
