News Update
September 24, 2010:
July 19, 2010: Join us at Tarrywile as we welcome Danbury native and author Deborah Van Houten Burggraaf back to the area to read her childrens book "Cooka: The Bird Without Wings". The reading will be held on Monday July 26th at 11 am in the Mansion Library with light refreshments to follow. Signed books will also be available for $10 each.
Mrs. Burggraaf, a South Florida teacher with over fifteen years experience, has teamed with an illustrator to introduce a children's book that will fascinate children as they journey with Cooka as she ventures outside of her cage and explores her South Florida surrondings. Written for children, ages 5 to 12, Cooka is realistically illustrated by Shaun Howard, an outstanding world-class illustrator based in Atlanta, Georgia. The illustrations are superb and children will feel as if they are part of Cooka's journey of exploration. Mrs. Burggraaf has also created age-specific learning activities to go with the book and they are available at www.dburgg.com

June 7, 2010 Update: Thank you to everyone that made the first ever "Weekend at Tarrywile - First Annual Plein Air Event" such a success. From Friday nights successful Evening at the Mansion, hosted by the Friends of Tarrywile. To a well attended National Trails Day event on Saturday to "Sunday In The Park - Plein Air Artist's Reception & Sale". A great time was had by all. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the Park & Mansion with either their time, monetary donations or talents. A very special thank you to Lynne Polley of Polley Creates, with out whom, we would not have been able to hold the Plein Air event!
