The 2012 Season at the Dickinson House
The Dickinson House opened for the 2012 season on May 5 & 6 with 52 guests on Saturday and 48 on Sunday.
Also we have obtained grants to hire 2 students as Dickinson House hosts for the summer. Therefore we will be opening the house Wednesday through Sunday and holidays until September, when we will revert to weekends and holidays.
