Graycliff Spring Clean Up--and Season Has Started!


A BIG thank you to the many volunteers who braved the inclement weather on Saturday for  Spring Clean Up. 

 The house is much, much cleaner after the long winter, thanks to stalwart Graycliff Volunteers. 

 And just in time for the tour season, which starts today (and with a sold out tour this afternoon.)  

Welcome, returning volunteers, new volunteers, and docents-in-training, too.   (Sorry some photos are a little blurry...there's no keeping up with these speed demons!
