Friends of Historic Houses
Established in 1992, the Friends of the Historic Houses support the preservation, restoration, and conservation of the Historic Houses maintained by the Chrysler Museum of Art: the Moses Myers and Willoughby-Baylor Houses.

The Friends of the Historic Houses sponsor educational programs, workshops, tours, and lectures designed to enhance appreciation of the Houses and their collections.

Programs and Events

• Fall Bus Tour: Travel on a day trip to a historical property to explore architecture, decorative arts, and gardens with a museum curator.
• Lecture Series: Nationally and internationally acclaimed authors and lecturers bring informative presentations to the Chrysler.
• “Home for the Holidays”: Celebrate at a members-only party in December, held in a private home.
• Norfolk’s Secret Garden: Enjoy lunch and 18th-century music in the beautifully restored gardens of the Willoughby-Baylor House each Wednesday in May.

Dues: $25 Household - in addition to regular Museum membership dues.
