A Note About Small Children... 

Although we do not have age restrictions regarding guests attending events, please be aware that small children are expected to be monitored by their parents at all times. We are a historic property filled with antiques and breakables, and the gardens have ledges, stairs and sunken fountain areas that could be hazardous to small children. Trampled flower beds and damaged antiques are a serious concern for us and will not be tolerated. Unattended or misbehaved children may be asked to leave an event with their parents.
