DERBY - Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will present a program June 17 on what life was like for Frances Osborne Kellogg, a small town celebrity during the early 1900s.  
Frances Kellogg


Visitors to the Osborne Homestead Museum will be entertained from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. with tours, and there will be a photo exhibition exploring the fact and fiction surrounding Kellogg's life.
Kellogg was a prominent business woman, philanthropist, musician, and dairy breeder whose life was enshrouded in mystery and legend after her death in 1956.  

In this special photo exhibition, guests will explore the reasons why she wanted everything in her handwriting burnt, the rumors and misperceptions, and the truth about her life.  

Join others to unearth the mysteries and unlock the truth about the “Lady of Derby.” 
The Osborne Homestead Museum, 500 Hawthorne Ave., is open for free guided tours Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Sundays from noon-4 p.m.
