The Icons of Modernism excursion will feature an in-depth tour of Sunnylands, the storied 200-acre estate of Ambassador and Mrs. Walter Annenberg, with an A.

Sunnylands staff will offer insights into the site's transformation from a private to a public facility.

Details on the other sites will be shared with attendees.
A motor coach will take attendees to each site, and there will be a sumptuous luncheon.
