Center in Derby to host program on Frances Osborne Kellogg

DERBY - Are you a Downton Abbey fan? Are you interested in local history? 

Come to the Kellogg Environmental Center and learn about the life of Frances Osborne Kellogg during the early 20th century. 

The program, led by Susan Robinson, Osborne Homestead Museum education curator,
will be held from 1-2:30 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Kellogg Environmental Center with a tour of the Osborne Homestead Museum following the presentation.

Like the Crawleys on Downton Abbey, the Osborne family were wealthy landowners with a daughter as their only surviving heir. 

Learn about the fortunes and tribulations of the Osbornes through the lens of the award-winning television series Downton Abbey. The program is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. 
Refreshments will be served.

The Kellogg Environmental Center is open 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. The Osborne Homestead Museum is open for free guided tours on Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Both are operated by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

For additional information and for registration, call 203-734-2513 or e-mail donna.kingston@ct.gov.
