Additional Information:

Step back in time as we explore the elegance and innovation of America’s Gilded Age. Our day begins at the WW Seymour Botanical Conservatory, where lush plants thrive inside a striking glass conservatory dating back to 1908. From there, we’ll walk approximately 6 blocks to the McMenamins Elks Temple, a beautifully restored landmark built at the close of the Gilded Age. After lunch together, we’ll head to the Washington State History Museum for a docent-led tour, highlighting the culture and artistry of the Gilded Age era.

Join us for a day filled with history, architecture, and beauty!

We have tables reserved at the historic Elk Lodge McMenamins.
