LESS WORDS Garden Clean Up Day April 2024 (1).png

Now that the newly planted gardens are starting to come alive, it is time to give them a little love.  We need your help to get them in order this Spring. Please consider coming to lend a hand pruning and pick up yard debris. The more volunteers we have,  the quicker the tasks will go by! Bring your own gloves, pruners, and we will supply the lawn bags. 

Rain Date is scheduled for the following Saturday, April 20th at 10:30AM.

Call 330.972.6909 or email howerhouse@uakron.edu to sign up!

Essential Luxuries of the Upper Class: Tea with the Howers

Less Script Tea with the Howers Spring 2024.png

Tea was considered a luxury item yet necessary to entertain and maintain important social connections among the wealthy classes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  
We will explore its implications through interpretation of documents, the Hower House Museum collection and its spaces, along with items on loan from the family.

The dates for our exhibit are March 1 through September 19.
