The final event of the Lippitt House Museum’s fall calendar is a behind-the-scenes tour. Starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18, guests are invited to learn more about “the other half” – servants living and working in the Victorian-era mansion. The tour is led by museum director Carrie Taylor and tickets are $15 per person and available online.
Built in 1865 for former Rhode Island Gov. Henry Lippitt, the house was home to four generations of his family. In addition to weekly hours on Fridays from 1-5 p.m., the museum offers programs, lectures and special tours.
