About Kites!
at Cedarhurst
August 7 – October 17

Kites have enjoyed a longer continual history than any other toy except dolls, yet kites have also been instrumental in advancing bridge-building technology, aeronautical research and military strategies.

The Drachen Foundation’s exhibition About Kites, produced by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service captures the fascination and diversity of kites with vivid illustrations and information.

Exhibition cosponsored by DataLock and Toni Federici, Inc.
