A Note from the Director
Ellis House has long been a place where hospitality and culture quietly meet.
Each season, we open the home for a small collection of thoughtfully curated gatherings designed to invite conversation, creativity, and reflection within these historic rooms.
This spring, our collection explores the artistry and cultural story of hats — from the careful study of millinery materials, to an evening devoted to their history and social meaning, and finally to a softly whimsical tea experience that celebrates the spirit of spring.
I look forward to welcoming you into the home.
— Jinelle Marshall
Director, Ellis House
Spring arrives gently at Ellis House.
Morning light returns to the historic rooms, hats rest upon pedestals awaiting admiration, and the quiet rhythm of preparation begins once more. Over the coming weeks, the house will host a small collection of gatherings devoted to millinery, conversation, and the pleasures of refined hospitality.
The Spring Collection invites guests to step inside — to observe the study of material, to reflect on the cultural story of hats, and to share a table where tea, conversation, and gentle imagination unfold together.
