KIDS + FAMILIES

Bayou Bend, the American decorative arts center of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, hosts a free Family Day the third Sunday of each month from September through May. 

Sunday, January 16, 2011:   Remember the Ladies - Women in America.

The advice of Abigail Adams to her husband John ("Remember the ladies") is especially relevant at Bayou Bend, the former home of one of America´s greatest women. Visit Bayou Bend in January for a variety of activities, demonstrations, and performances that remind us of the invaluable contribution women have made to America´s heritage.

Make a gift for mom at the craft table, and tour the house to see the indelible imprint of women in the history of American design.
