Showcasing the Showhouse
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2016/08 - August
The Cashiers Designer Showhouse is located off Norton Road between Highlands and Cashiers. Benefitting the Cashiers Historical Society, this year’s Showhouse will be held August 13 through 28.
The late 19th century James Madison Zachary House that now rests on 131 acres has undergone substantial interior renovations for the Showhouse, with careful consideration of its historic significance. The icing on the cake for the Showhouse will be the magic touch that local and regional designers put on the interior of the home, known architecturally as a
side-gable I-house.
Over 20 retailers – old favorites and many new tastemakers – will set up shop under the tent on the tennis court. The Showhouse’s special events, which have become highlights of the social season on the plateau, are taking on a new more casual twist while not sacrificing an ounce of fabulous flare. A Cool Carolina Evening Preview Party is scheduled for Friday, August 12, at 6:30 P.M. with delectable farm-to-table cuisine. The cost is $250 per person and $500 per couple. Reservations are required.
On Opening Day, Saturday, August 13, join the Cashiers Historical Society at Burt Farm for Lunch on the Lawn With Friends where they will honor Angela Williams, co-owner of Old Edwards Properties, and friend and benefactor of our area. Special guest speaker will be the world-renowned AD100 honoree, designer extraordinaire Timothy Corrigan of Los Angeles and Paris. The cost is $125 per person. Reservations are required.
As a Donor or Benefactor there are numerous events and special perks that come your way, beginning with the Benefactor Soirée on Thursday, August 11, at an exquisite new home high above Cashiers. For information on giving at this level, and for any general questions, please contact the Cashiers Historical Society at (828) 743-7710.
Visit CashiersHistoricalSociety.org/Showhouse for up-to-date information, including ticket purchases. You’ll also find special event listings such as a mushroom foraging hike followed by some wine sipping and topped off a few nights later by a special gourmet dinner featuring your “pickin’s” at The Orchard Restaurant on Thursday evening, August 25. Cost is $200 per person.
Showhouse is open August 13 through 28, from 10:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M. and Sundays 1:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M.
Closed on Wednesdays.
