Essex Natural Heritage Commission Provides Funding to Project Adventure




Project Adventure thanks the Essex County Heritage Commission for funding the roofing of the Tea House located on the Moraine Farm property.




The Tea House, located on the property that houses Project Adventure's corporate headquarters and training facility, was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.




The funding supports maintaining the integrity of this unique building including re-roofing.




The Tea House overlooks sunken perennial gardens and a beautiful koi pond and is maintained by volunteers.




Weddings, corporate events, reunions and other meetings are held on the beautiful property. For more information contact info@pa.org.
