Enjoy a virtual Summer Whites Picnic!

The Lanterman House has a long tradition of welcoming summer with a festive picnic. Every spring, picnic-goers from near and far don their finest summer attire, pack their picnic baskets with sumptuous feasts, and celebrate the season on the Lanterman House grounds. Croquet, ukuleles, and other period entertainments are offered. Enjoy our look back at picnics past…and we can’t wait to welcome picnic-goers back on the grounds this year!
