Description
A photo taken by Nava Thompson of red Poppies in garden of the historic Peel Mansion in Bentonville, Arkansas....................... This was made in the spring.The Peel Mansion and Historic Gardens represents its period in 1875 and offers visitors an experience of this part of the past by offering tours and renting services. It enables visitors to create their own personal experiences in a setting only the mansion can provide. ....................Built by Colonel Samuel West Peel in 1875, constructing this Italianate Villa house was done with much care. The house was furnished with its loaned antique pieces and artifacts from its era. It features art, artifacts, and antiques that were originally used by the Colonel Peel and his family. The Museum also uses an authentic pre-civil war log cabin as its Gift Store. ..................Today, it serves as a magnificent venue for special events like wedding ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinner, group luncheons and tours, and civic or corporate events. The Museum also has volunteer programs for those who want to take part in preserving and promoting a historical and beautiful structure...........The Mansion is open for tours Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Volunteers of the Museum provide tours throughout the day
