On the 142nd birthday of Walter Gropius, in collaboration with LincFam and Historic New England, FoMA welcomes you to an open house and a hands-on celebration featuring art, music and dance in the spirit of the Bauhaus principles of experiential learning and creativity.

Walter Gropius (1883-1969) is known for founding the Bauhaus school and promoting a new architectural approach that integrated art, nature, and technology. His design for the 1938 Lincoln home highlights his belief in the strong connection between a house and its landscape—an idea that has become central to Green and Sustainable Design today.

Historic New England invites you to walk Lincoln’s trails and visit two of its properties, The Codman Estate, home to five generations of the Chambers/Russell/Codman family, and the Gropius House, home to a revolutionary architect and his family.

Please join The Friends of Modern Architecture to honor the contributions of the Rural Land Foundation and its on-going work to save land and to manage responsible growth. 

Please join us for refreshments and conversation afterwards. 

Please join us for a screening of Park Avenue Cubists, a film about the life, art, and Bauhaus-inspired home of Suzy Frelinghuysen and George Morris, followed by a talk by Suzy’s nephew Kinney and his son Thomas. 

Please join us for a festive afternoon of classical music, story sharing and conversation in a legendary Lincoln home. Tours of the house and garden will be given and seasonal spring refreshments will be served. In person tickets: $70 Live stream tickets: $20 Proceeds are tax-deductible and support FoMA’s ongoing work to build awareness and appreciation for Lincoln’s exceptional collection of Modern houses and buildings.
