In conjunction with the 2025 Rose Hill exhibit “Without Asking Permission: The Art of Agnes Swan Hutchins and Margaret Hutchins,” Historic Geneva is running a specialty tour of Rose Hill Mansion focused on art displayed in the house that was created by or depicts women. “Between Needle and Brush: Women and Art” will examine the ways women were able to pursue artistic endeavors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and how artists portrayed women. We will talk about 19th-century gendered views of craftwork like embroidery and tole painting, and how some women were able to express their creativity through art.
These tours are not the same as the regular tour. Advanced tickets are required for the tour, and space is limited. To purchase tickets, visit historicgeneva.org. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $6 for children 10 to 18.
Once a working farm, the house and surrounding grounds at Rose Hill are open May to October for guided tours. Built in 1839, the elegant Greek Revival house was the center of a busy and productive farm at mid-century, occupied by the Swan family from 1850-1890.
