Pittock Mansion, Then and Now with Paula Gangopadhyay

Join Mansion’s CEO and learn interesting insights about Henry and Georgiana’s contributions towards building Portland, new facts about the later Pittock descendants who lived in the mansion after Henry and Georgiana, and the untold stories of those who built and worked at the mansion. Paula will also share how the new vision, Pittock 2.0 is strategically expanding the storytelling of the mansion and connecting it to the broader history of Portland and beyond. Several new initiatives are underway, poised to make Portland’s historic icon a more relevant and dynamic museum and destination.

Paula’s talk about “Pittock Mansion, Then and Now” at The Racquet Club was outstanding! Her unique insights into the Mansion’s history and the Pittock family were both intriguing and engaging. Paula’s creative vision for the future of the Pittock Mansion was not only inspiring but also encouraged us to anticipate attending future Mansion events. Thank you, Paula! You are a gift to The Mansion! – Patricia Wall
