Event Details

All bus trips are subsidized by Friends of Mt. Lebanon Public Library.

Join us for an offsite visit to the Frick Pittsburgh Museums & Gardens on Thursday, August 28th. Participants will be led on a group tour of the Clayton House followed by lunch from the Cafe at the Frick and free time to explore the grounds, including the Frick Art Museum and the Car & Carriage Museum.

"The home of the Henry Clay Frick family from 1882–1905, this meticulously restored 22-room mansion features an impressive array of fine and decorative art objects purchased by the Fricks. Docent-led tours of the home provide an inside view of daily life at the turn of the 20th century and a better understanding of Pittsburgh during the Gilded Age."

Reception room, present day.
