Frances Osborne Kellogg |
Attend an online presentation at 6 p.m. May 18 and view rare photos of Frances and understand her life by learning about the things that brought joy to her life.
Born on May 11, 1876 during the Victorian Era, Frances was a Renaissance woman—running her family’s businesses, breeding prized Holstein-Friesian cattle, inviting celebrities to speak and perform in Derby, and holding many civic positions.
But it wasn’t all work and no play. Frances took time to smell the roses, literally. Register for this online talk to learn about her favorite flowers, animals, hobbies, and more.
After registering for this event, participants will receive the Zoom weblink.
The Osborne Homestead Museum, 500 Hawthorne Ave., Derby, celebrates the life of Frances Osborne Kellogg, an accomplished businesswoman and conservationist who was dedicated to preserving land for future generations.
Adjacent to the rolling hills and open meadows of Osbornedale State Park, Osborne Homestead Museum encompasses the house and grounds of the former Frances Osborne Kellogg Estate.
Originally constructed in the mid-1800s, the house was enlarged and completely remodeled in the Colonial Revival style during the 1920s.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, its restored interior now displays the original contents of the estate, which constitutes a significant collection of antiques and fine arts.
