The Gilded Age Revisited

In Spring 2009, the Preservation Society will introduce a new interpretation of The Breakers (1895), one of the nation’s greatest Gilded Age landmarks, with a new audio tour. Join our staff and invited experts throughout the year as they share years of research on The Breakers, which has resulted in a new view of this great house and its role as a landmark of a critical period in American history and design.
