Boscobel House and Gardens is more than just a historic home—it's a design icon, a preservation success story, and now, the focus of an ambitious restoration project. In this episode of Grandma's Silver, I sit down with Jennifer Carlquist, Executive Director of Boscobel, to explore the site's fascinating history, its role in shaping American interior design, and the exciting transformation underway.

We'll dive into how this Hudson Valley treasure became a hub for 19th-century decorative arts, the challenges and opportunities of historic preservation, and why stewarding the past can inspire the way we live today.

Tune in for a glimpse into the past—and the vision for Boscobel's future.
