Old Main opens house today Old Main is opening its doors today to give visitors a glimpse of its historic halls through the Lion Ambassadors' annual open house guided tours. The open house offers one of only three chances throughout the year to view the campus from the bell tower. The tour also includes the history of the frescoes painted on Old Main's walls during the 1940s by Henry Varnum Poor.
Visitors also can create their own frescoes on wet plaster on the front patio, weather permitting.
Refreshments will be served.
