“When you close your eyes and think of winter what does your mind conjure up? The stillness of a fresh snowfall? A home filled with warmth against a blustery wind? We posed this question to our historic sites (NTHS) and members of the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios program (HAHS), and the result was a vision of winter that was not only embedded in nature but also about finding joy in the changing season. Each one of these objects and art have a story to tell.”
