Q: What is the Foundation's Photo Policy?

A: Photography and filming for personal, non-commercial use is allowed on the grounds of Kenmore, in the Bissell Gallery, and in the mansion during our regular operating hours. Photographs may be taken anywhere on the grounds or in buildings open to the public at Ferry Farm during our regular operating hours. There is no restriction on flash photography at this time.

Photography and filming for commercial purposes requires a permit and prior approval. This includes wedding photographers who want to take photographs of the wedding party on the grounds. Please download the Filming Permit Application (Word format) (PDF Format) and send it, with the appropriate application fee, to the address on the application.
