The lecture, which is offered at no cost, begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Strauss Mansion Museum. Donations are always accepted and guests are also invited to bring a non-perishable food item or baby product for the local food pantry.

Thursday, July 27, Audra Mariel will be back to present another incredible evening of jazz music and more in the Museum’s Summer Concert under the stars. Guests are invited to bring beach chairs and their favorite beverage for a causal evening of entertainment. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and will held outdoors, weather permitting.
