SATURDAY: Sketch the Hamilton Grange


Saturday March 31, 2018

I can't believe that the weather forecast for this Saturday is for brilliant sunshine with temperatures that could include outdoor sketching.  Let's visit the Hamilton Grange National Memorial, also known as The Grange or the Hamilton Grange Mansion.
