Mary Eno Pinchot, whose summer home was Grey Towers, was an avid supporter of the arts and regarded lace as one of society’s greatest accomplishments. Her appreciation of lace began during her childhood, when she studied the history of lacemaking. Her interest in this craft eventually led to her establishing a lace collection for the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. in 1908. A special thanks to The Lost Art Lacers of North Jersey. They assisted in artifact identification, demonstrated their craft for the exhibit’s film, and have been demonstrating the art of lacemaking at Grey Towers since the 1980s.
