Construction on this beautiful mansion started in 1908, then stopped during WWI and was completed in 1918. There is alot of history here and houses the Cuneo family collection of fine antiques, paintings by world famous artists, tapestries, sculptures, silver, and porcelain.
The gardens were very colorful. They hold many receptions and weddings and summer concerts here as well.
Clayton thought the angel babies in the paintings on the ceiling were funny because they were chubby naked little babies with wings he said. They had alot of statues around the grounds.
Clayton also really liked the fine dishes and wanted a golden spoon to eat with. Don't we all!
Clay wanted me to take a picture of these flowers because they were his favorite and reminded him of peppermints.
They have a whole children's department where there is lots of hands on fun.

These were so amazing to look at. Each piece was hand carved and put together by a Charles Warner, who designed and constructed the folk art cathedrals which resembled ones he remembered from his childhood in Europe.

THE LAKE COUNTY DISCOVERY MUSEUM
This is another museum we have been able to see thanks to our library who has passes we can "Check out" and go for free!

I have mentioned before how much Hayden loves Paul Bunyan, so this was so fun for him!
The Museum had a special exhibit celebrating:

Golden Legacy: Original Art for 65 Years of Golden Books
These are two of my favorite pictures on display. I love all the Golden Books and seeing all the beautiful art and the books everywhere really made my memory go back in time to when I read each book, what room I was in, and flashes of reorganizing the old and now absent due to remodeling hall book closet we had growing up.

It's so funny to see the pics of the Cuneo Mansion. 1. I got married there and have pics in some of the same spots your kids did and 2. Did you know that the movie My Best Friend's Wedding was filmed there. They built the gazebo just for that movie.
We haven't been to/heard about the Cuneo Mansion. It looks beautiful! Especially if it's part of the library passes - Bonus!
