THE JOSLYN CASTLE LITERARY FESTIVAL “JAZZ AGE AT THE CASTLE: F. SCOTT FITZGERALD”
The Joslyn Castle Trust preserves and shares the magnificent Castle and beautiful Gardens to enrich the community. By offering and hosting programs in the arts, education, and culture, the Castle continues its historic, cultural impact on Omaha and on the region.
JULY 27 TO AUGUST 10, 2013
We are proud to present the third annual Joslyn Castle Literacy Festival: “Jazz Age at the Castle: F. Scott Fitzgerald.” Each year the Literary Festival focuses on a selected literary figure and approaches his or her work from as many exciting perspectives as possible – social, political, economic, domestic, cultural, and personal. Educating without using a dusty academic approach, but grounded in solid literary scholarship, the festival events engage the senses and emotions as well as the intellect. This year the 1920s will spring to wild and colorful life at Joslyn Castle. Travel back in time to celebrate all that made the 20s roar and to meet and get to know the man whose brilliant writing chronicled this startling decade of history. On the heels of Baz Lurhrman’s brilliant new film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, the Festival will offer exciting and innovative events examining the life and times of F. Scott Fitzgerald, an iconic 1920s writer said by the New York Times to have “invented a generation.”
JOSLYN CASTLE LITERARY FESTIVAL EVENTS All events are at the Joslyn Castle unless noted.
July 28 to August 10, 2013 – 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Other aspects of the original house include a conservatory and a music room, which once included a pipe organ. The ballroom on the third floor was used only twice, for daughter Violet’s debutante ball and later for her wedding reception. The basement was George’s special place to entertain friends. It contained a standard-size bowling alley, a gentleman’s smoking room, a billiard room, a card room, wine cellar, and gymnasium. The original interior designers for the house were Spierling and Linden, a renowned firm from Chicago. A subsidiary of this firm, the Linden Glass Company, produced all the art glass and stained glass windows for the house. The elaborate Victorian furnishings cost $50,000 and were purchased at the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 and the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. George Joslyn died in his late sixties in 1916. Sarah lived on the 5.5 acre estate until her death in 1940 at age 88. From 1944 until 1989, the house served as the headquarters of the Omaha Public Schools. To preserve the integrity of this architectural treasure, the State of Nebraska purchased the property and held title for 21 years. In 2010, the Joslyn Castle Trust purchased the property. Today this icon the Joslyns and early Omaha is being funded, managed, preserved and restored by the non-profit Joslyn Castle Trust. In addition to interior renovations of walls and ceilings, landscaping restoration is also underway. In time, two ponds forming a figure eight spanned by a footbridge will reappear. There are plans to restore other features original to the site, including the greenhouse. In 1996, the grounds were declared an early historic Landmark Site of the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. Lynhurst is an Omaha Landmark Historic Structure and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Joslyn Castle Trust preserves and restores Lynhurst to serve and enrich the community furthering George and Sarah Joslyns’ commitment to education, business, arts and culture. Your attendance today at the fourth annual Joslyn Castle Classic Car Show supports the preservation and mission of the Joslyn Castle. Thank you!

homes – a 35-room Scottish Baronial Mansion atop a hill that was on the outskirts of Omaha. Located on what is now Davenport Street, The Joslyns discovered the land one day while horseback riding and were delighted with the view. They purchased the property in 1893, and two years later traded houses with the Sutphen family --their fourteen-room house on Emmet Street for the farmhouse on the property.
CAR EXHIBITOR TOUR Followed by dinner at the Joslyn Castle.
They hired John McDonald, one of the up and coming architects of the day, to design a home that reflected the style of castles in Scotland and the mansions they had seen on the East Coast.
SUNDAY, JULY 28TH
They began landscaping immediately, planting mature trees and scrubs and designing and planting flower beds.
CASTLE CAR CLASSIC
Prior to the construction of the house itself, three structures were erected on the property. The first building was the Gatehouse, built in 1897 and located on the Davenport side of the property. This seven-room stone house was the home of the groundskeeper and his family. It was torn down in 1949. The second building was the large greenhouse, which was added in 1899. This incredible building, called the Palm House, was destroyed in the Easter Sunday tornado in 1913. The remains of the greenhouse, along with any surviving plants, were donated to the City of Omaha for Hanscom Park. The current Annex Building, which houses the offices of the Executive Director and staff, was built in 1958 using stone salvaged from the gatehouse and greenhouse. The third building constructed prior to the Castle was the Carriage House. Completed in 1901 at a cost of $35,000, it featured an upstairs apartment for the coachman and his family and a stable on the main level for the Joslyns’ horses. Later, it housed a fleet of fine automobiles, including a Pierce Arrow and the first Cadillac bought in the state of Nebraska.
