The Isle La Motte Preservation Trust presents the 2010 season of Cultural Heritage Events at Fisk Farm. Settled in 1788 by Ichabod Ebenezer Fisk, this historic site was visited by President McKinley in 1898 and by Vice President Theodore Roosevelt in 1901. A once beautiful stone house on the site was ravaged by fire in 1923. Today the ruins of this stone house are used in the summer as a Tea Room. The renovated Horse and Carriage Barn with its two grand pianos hosts concerts, art and craft shows. These cultural heritage events are presented by and serve as annual fundraisers for the Isle La Motte Preservation Trust.
Saturday evening Pro-Series concerts, one each in June, July and August, feature concert artists performing in the Horse and Carriage barn. Our two Knabe grand pianos and the acoustics of the wooden barn make for an unforgettable evening as concert goers experience gifted concert artists performing a variety of exciting and delightful works.
