ART + WINE + CHEESE – Mount Vernon Exhibit March 9

Embroidery of Nelly Custis Lewis. Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House staff and their volunteer corps, Nelly’s Needlers, will be on hand to discuss the embroidery of Eleanor (“Nelly”) Custis Lewis, who was raised at Mount Vernon, later lived at Woodlawn, and learned many of her expert needlework skills from her cherished grandmother, Martha Washington.

Nepenthe Gallery, in partnership with the estate of Mount Vernon and Woodlawn Mansion, presents “MOUNT VERNON”  from February 1^st – March 15^th.

This exhibit at Nepenthe Gallery is in conjunction with Mt. Vernon’s Annual National Birthday Celebration of George Washington and Woodlawn’s 60^th Annual Needlepoint Show.

We will host six Thursday night “ART + WINE + CHEESE” events related to this exhibit, and we will highlight one piece from the exhibit each week.
