Our annual M|S Cocktail Party will be held at Wilhelm, Portland’s Mausoleum. Guides will share many stories about the historic building, the changes it has seen, and historical tales of those who rest within. Just as our events feature the craftsmanship and design of buildings, a tour of the mausoleum will offer a visual respite, showcasing beautiful elements throughout, including intricate stained glass and wood-carved art.
Enjoy handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, along with delicious hors d’oeuvres, while reconnecting with friends and networking with fellow Modernism enthusiasts.
