Currier Museum and Zimmerman House

Today we had booked our tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Zimmerman House, and after a fine breakfast, cooked by Eric, we set off for the Currier Museum of Art, which owns the place. There were twelve of us on the tour and we were taken across to the house by minibus with two guides who told us all we needed to know about the place We are only allowed to take external photographs, no sitting on the furniture, but we got to see everything and it was very interesting. We loved the story of Mrs Zimmerman climbing onto the roof to open and close the kitchen windows.

Back at the Currier, we found their interesting café for coffee, before visiting their collection. We had a great time and also saw their exhibition of posters, Poster Mania! Leisure, Romance and Adventure in 1890s America, and Abigail Anne Newbold: Crafting Settlement. The time just flew by and soon we were buying a few things in the gift shop before strolling back to the B&B. Tonight we have had dinner at Mint Bistro on Elm St. which consisted of mini fish tacos and chicken satay followed by curry of chicken and herb baked haddock. We drank Caymus Conundrum white wine, recommended by a friend, which was a good one. Again an excellent meal.
