Please join the Friends of the Sharon Public Library for a special guided tour of the Gropius House in Lincoln, MA on Saturday, July 14. A National Historic Landmark, Gropius House was designed and built in 1938 by Walter Gropius as his family home when he brought his family here from Germany to teach at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.

Founder of the German design school known as the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) was a celebrated German architect and a leading proponent of modern architecture. Extensive restoration of the property has been under way for the past 15 years.
