The Olde Stone House Historic Village

A Plein Air event invites artists to create artwork outdoors, painting or drawing directly from the landscape, architecture, and atmosphere around them. Rooted in centuries-old artistic tradition, plein air painting emphasizes capturing natural light, color, and mood in real time. Visitors have the unique opportunity to watch artwork come to life as artists interpret historic buildings, gardens, and scenery on site, offering an engaging and immersive cultural experience for all ages.
