Built between 1914 and 1922 as the winter home of farming manufacturer James Deering, Vizcaya is one of the most intact remaining examples from this era in the United States, when the nation\u2019s most successful entrepreneur-built estates were inspired by the stately homes of Europe. Vizcaya features a Main House filled with a decorative art collection, 10 acres of formal gardens, a rockland hammock (native forest), mangrove shore, and a historic village that is being restored to tell Vizcaya\u2019s full story and provide additional spaces for programs and community outreach, including those on agriculture. Vizcaya has been a community hub since it opened to the public in 1953; it welcomes 300,000 visitors annually.\u2206<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>FRONT PAGE: Yelena Vologina, Yuliia Faist, Suzy Buckley Woodward, Krista Rosenberg, Lauren Coleman, Yuni Paufiques, Sarah Lewin, &amp; Katherina Frey &#8211; WRE-R<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 15th\u00a0Annual Vizcaya Preservation Luncheon &#8216;The Hat Luncheon&#8217; at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens On March 7, 2023, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens welcomed 300 of Miami\u2019s most charitable patrons for the 15th\u00a0Annual Vizcaya Preservation Luncheon, which sold out for the third consecutive year.
