EXHIBIT A new exhibit celebrating the extraordinary collection of 13-19th century stained glass assembled by the Coes for their home at Planting Fields with a special look at the ongoing work to conserve these fragile treasures.

The Cody-Coe Connection In 1910, W.R. and Mai Coe purchased Col. William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody's Irma Lake Lodge in Wyoming, one of the country's great ranches

Collection Highlights The most wonderful and surprising email came to me in the winter of 2006.  It was from a son of Mr. James Moore, whose father, also James Moore, was the Foreman of the Main Greenhouse for Planting Fields.

Mark Twain's Christmas Letter Countless readers knew him as “Mark Twain,” but the famous American author and humorist was always “Mr. Clemens” to the Coe family.

Staying Ahead of the Game For eighty years the animal trophies hung in Coe Hall, silent sentinels watching the many years and visitors pass by. In September of 2002

In our last installment of “Collections Highlights,” we left readers hanging off the edges of the seats wondering what the connection would be with Mai Rogers Coe and her beech trees

Leisure Activities at Planting Fields The Coe family divided their time among Planting Fields, a New York City Townhouse, and a ranch in Wyoming.  Although they were only here for a limited time each year (the spring and the fall), their activities and interests have left a long-lasting impression.
