Naturally Beautiful at Wylie House

Louisa Wylie Boisen, age 73 in this 1912 photograph, grew up in the Wylie home and returned with her children to live with her parents after the death of her young husband. Louisa was a gardener and a great appreciator of natural beauty.

Inspired by "Naturally Beautiful," an exhibit at the Homewood Museum at John Hopkins University, "Naturally Beautiful at Wylie House" is about embracing the beauty of objects in the Wylie House while acknowledging the changes both in the climate and people's lives in Indiana over the last 200 years.
