Six Diverse Cultures, One Unique Place”

Hi All! Note our spring sandbag theme! We are still recovering from the winter floods which damaged our ductwork and insulation in our crawl space and threatened the Hori bath house, as well. So sorry to announce that due to this, we cannot have our Spring Tea this year. We hope to open in June to welcome you all back to the Neely. Will you consider making a donation to help us during this difficult time? Please donate at our website www.neelymansion.org Thanks so much!
