Own a piece of Mitchell Museum history and pave the way for the future.
Each purchase supports our 50th Anniversary programs and projects
In 2021 Cedarhurst invested in a major capital project to replace the facade of the original Mitchell Museum, a necessity to ensure the safety of Cedarhurst visitors. Thankfully the history was not lost.
The beautiful white Carrera marble, selected by museum founders John and Eleanor Mitchell for their namesake museum, has been repurposed into keepsakes to commemorate this special anniversary year! Each item is hand-crafted and unique.
Those who have ordered marble keepsakes will be contacted by email with details for pickup.
