Historic Wilson Hall May 27, 2011

The splendor of the golden age of American palaces will be featured in an exhibit of photographs depicting Shadow lawn estate as it appeared from 1903 through 1937. The exhibit features images of the original colonial wood frame structure built in 1903 that was destroyed by fire in 1927, and the neoclassical French limestone structure that replaced it in 1929. The exhibit includes images of President Woodrow Wilson making his acceptance speech on the steps of Shadow Lawn, the opulent décor of the interiors, and the greenhouses and grounds that supported the estate.

Images for the exhibit were provided by Monmouth University
and The Monmouth County Historical Association.
Curated by: Tina Colella, Jim Reme, and Vaune Peck.
This event is free and open to the public.
