Celebrating 100 Years of Gracious Living, Charm and Whimsy
Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is an extraordinary blend of art, architecture, history and ecology. This 35-acre subtropical estate and historic house museum was built in 1920 and was the winter retreat of the Birch/Bartlett family. Filled with a delightful collection of art and personal treasures, the Main House exudes a sense of charm, whimsy and gracious living. The surrounding grounds of the estate remain a virtual oasis of coastal wilderness and informal gardens, nestled amid the commercial development of the Fort Lauderdale beachfront. Bonnet House has survived with remarkable authenticity – reflecting the creative lifestyle of its artist owners and preserving the natural setting of Old South Florida.
The “soft” kickoff Challenge was a huge success and we exceeded our goal. Thank you to all who participated in the challenge.
Bonnet House will continue its 100th Anniversary Fundraising campaign with a $1,000 challenge starting Tuesday, November 12th. We are asking 100 people to donate $1,000 in honor of our 100th Anniversary. Each donor will receive two admission tickets to the 100th Anniversary Centennial Soiree presented by The Haller Foundation scheduled to take place Saturday, April 25 at 6:00 pm. A true VIP experience, guests will enjoy a lavishly catered affair by A Alexander Event Catering with specialty cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, full bar, dinner, live entertainment and a one-of-a-kind commemorative VIP gift.
