The Eastman Museum and the Rochester Cocktail Revival bring you Masquerade in the Mansion, a cocktail hour at the historic (and maybe haunted?) home of George Eastman. Guests will enter at the porte cochere just like they did in Eastman’s time, to socialize and enjoy Halloween-inspired cocktails concocted by the RCR staff. Upstairs, guests will have the opportunity to make their own digital spirit photograph. Organist Tim Schramm will provide the spooky soundtrack for the evening with a live performance on the Aeolian pipe organ.
Limited VIP tickets are available for a Rumors & Ghosts tour of the third floor, attic, and basement of the mansion—areas that are not usually accessible to the public.
All guests are encouraged to wear masquerade attire.

Over a professional life spanning seven decades, Edward Steichen (1879–1973) established himself as one of the most important figures in the history of photography. What is less known is that for much of that time, Steichen devoted himself to the nurturing of plants and gardens, an activity that sustained him and through which he developed ardently held beliefs regarding the relationship of art, nature, and creativity.
