To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the 100 Ladies of Deering, we are excited to present "100 Ladies of Deering - The Start of Something Amazing." This short film shows the friendship and tenacity of this group of women who envisioned what the Deering Estate houses would look like furnished, and the projects that have evolved beyond that to highlight the Deering Estate and Charles Deering's legacy of community, conservation and culture. Film directed by Jorge Gonzalez-Graupera.
Funded by the 100 Ladies of Deering and written by author and preservationist Becky Roper Matkov, produced by Emmy-Award-winning director Carl Kesser, this half-hour film "On This Land: The Charles Deering Estate" is a project that involved extensive research, including trips to Chicago, Sarasota and Barcelona and Sitges, Spain and interviews with historians, archaeologists, a former governor and descendants of Charles Deering.

Restoration of two rare, pre-17th century stained glass panels depicting the Holy Family's Flight Into Egypt is now complete, and the two panels are permanent display at the Deering Estate. Separated upon the death of Charles Deering, the pieces are now reunited, thanks in part to the generosity of the estate of Barbara Deering Strachan Danielson. Before going back on public display in the Stone House, each piece has undergone a complete restoration.
