Have you ever heard the phrase, “Your home is your castle?” Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn turned this phrase into a reality. The Pitcairn family lived in an actual castle in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, from 1939 until 1979. Today, the building serves as a museum of religious art, showcasing collections from Medieval Europe, Ancient Egypt, Classical Greece and Rome, and other cultures.
Glencairn as a Home presents rarely-seen archival photographs and video that will take participants on a virtual journey back through the decades. Learn why Raymond Pitcairn built Glencairn and how this castle-like home was brought to life by celebrations, political gatherings, school dances, concerts, and VIP visitors hosted by the family. Virtual attendee participation is encouraged around the question, “What choices do you make regarding how your surroundings reflect what is important to you?”
