Mews Construction: Hurry Up & Wait!

Anxiously waiting on mews construction progress

As I waited impatiently for responses to my bird inquiries for our Draper Museum Raptor Experience, the mews construction continued. The building seemed to not change for a few days, then suddenly workers would make a massive amount of progress in one day! It was very exciting—when it was going well—and very frustrating when it wasn’t.

Every day that something big happened, however, was amazing!

Mews construction continues: the walls of the mews for the Draper Museum Raptor Experience are going up!
