Meet Mary
|
Mary Meister is working her "dream job" as a new guide with the Mansion starting this month. She's been a fan of the Mansion for years and is excited to join the team.
Mary considers Kalispell "home" and is happy to be back with her husband, Bob. She returned last fall after living in South Dakota for the past 18 years where she worked as the Activity/ Volunteer Coordinator at Avera McKennan Hospital.
Mary loves being close to her family and grandchildren again. She enjoys watching the grandkids participate in sports, concerts and plays. In Mary's free time you'll find her walking or reading. She says, "Life is good."
Mary loves the Mansion. She is honored to be a member of the team and assist with bringing the home's history to life.
We appreciate Mary and all of our terrific staff here at the Conrad Mansion Museum.

Greetings!
Hello from the Mansion!
We've been busy cleaning and prepping the Mansion for our May 16th opening for the summer season.
Last month's Death By Chocolate was a wonderful event and we appreciate the staff, volunteers and sponsors that helped make this the event of the spring. A special thank you to Leah Lindsay for her great "Done in at the Disco" story for this years event. It will be talked about for years!
We'll be attending the Celebrate Wedding & Honeymoon Showcase at the Kalispell Center Mall and Red Lion Hotel this Saturday, May 12th. Stop by and see us at booth D1 if you get a chance. We'd love to say hello!
Thank you, as always, for your support of the beautiful Conrad Mansion!
Gennifer, Margot & the Mansion Staff

A Flower Garden of Fashion:
Floral Fashions from 1880-1960
Each summer the Conrad Mansion Gardens are filled with beautiful colorful flowers. So it's only fitting that our costume exhibit for the summer matches this theme.
Floral fashions worn between 1880 and 1960 on exhibit on the second floor will compliment the summer flower gardens.
Floral fabric design can be realistic, stylized, or abstract:
Flowers in realistic floral designs are recognizable; they are flowers that really exist in nature, and look natural.
Flowers in stylistic floral designs are similar to a real flower, and while recognizable as a flower, they are represented in an artistic manner.
Flowers in abstract floral designs only suggest a flower, and those flowers may be geometric or impressionistic.
Displays include:
- Gray Room: Fake Flowers, Evening Dress, Wedding Dress & Gloves, and Wedding Pumps.
- Antique Room: Shirtwaist Dresses.
- Violet Room: Printed Flower Dresses and a Petticoat.
- Blue Room: Day Dresses.
- Master Bedroom: Woven & Embroidered Flower Dresses
- Rose Room: Cocktail & Evening Dresses.
- Billiard Room: Men's Hawaiian Shirt.

Bankers Filing Cabinet
The Bankers Filing Cabinet can be found on the 3rd floor of the Mansion. It was built in the late 1800's by Yawman & Erbe MFG Co. Rochester, NY.
We believe that it was used in either the Conrad Town Site Office or the original Conrad Bank Building. There are labels on the front that indicate storage areas for many documents including Plats, Loan Applications, Deeds, and Check Stubs. There are also still notecards inside the drawers where the bankers called on people and documented transactions.
On your next visit I hope you will take a few minutes to appreciate this wonderful Bankers Filing Cabinet.
