SUMMARY:A Wilton House Museum Symposium: Women in Historic Preservation
DESCRIPTION:This symposium celebrates the significant roles women have played and continue to achieve in preserving historic sites. Numerous iconic historic buildings and neighborhoods owe their very existence to the determination of women to preserve them. This was achieved by building awareness\, securing private philanthropy\, and fighting to establish public policy. \nWomen have lead the historic preservation movement from its earliest efforts until today. Speakers from across the country will come together for a symposium to explore and contextualize these achievements. Six presentations will consider various women’s contributions to historic preservation from the founding effort to preserve Mount Vernon\, to Colonial Williamsburg\, the White House\, and historic neighborhoods in Richmond\, including contemporary concerns in preserving Richmond’s more troubling past. This daylong symposium is in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the founding of the women’s organization that saved and restored Wilton\, The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  \nWe hope that you join us on Saturday\, October 13\, 2018. \nFor information about our speakers and topics and to register\, please visit our Symposium page. \n

SUMMARY:Plays in the Passage: Mary and Her Monsters
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first of our Plays in the Passage series. An intimate performance will take place in Wilton’s historic passage celebrating the 200th anniversary of the publication of Frankenstein and the brilliance of Mary Shelley\, daughter of famed feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. Mary and her Monsters will be presented by Whitney Thornberry\, who will be bringing Mary to life in a harrowing Halloween experience. Tickets on sale October 1st. \n– \nBefore Boris Karloff… Before “it” was “alive”…. There was a young woman awakened one night by a ghostly nightmare. Haunted by ghosts of her past\, tormented by demons yet to come\, she took pen to paper and sparked life into her Creation—a book that has graced shelves and plagued nightmares for almost two centuries. Draw close and be pulled back into time\, turn beyond the pages\, to glimpse Mary…and her Monsters. \n

SUMMARY:Friends with Benefits: Quaker Cabinetmakers of the Colonial Chesapeake
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series. November will feature Robert Leath\, Chief Curator & Vice President\, Old Salem Museums & Gardens. \nUntil recently\, it has been assumed that most of the colonial Chesapeake’s cabinetmakers were British Episcopalians or Scottish Presbyterians\, but a surprising number were Quakers.  The Society of Friends had deep roots in the Tidewater stretching back to the 17th century\, but due to their undying opposition to slavery\, the congregation largely disappeared from the Chesapeake landscape during the decades leading up to the Civil War.  New research reveals the surprising number of talented craftsmen who were among this important religious community and their significant contributions to 18th-century Chesapeake furniture. \nFree: Sponsored by The Antiquarian Society & The Decorative Arts Trust \nRegistration is required and available here through Eventbrite. \n

SUMMARY:Nightingales of the South
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series. December’s lecture will feature Kelly Hancock\, Interpretation and Programs Manager at the American Civil War Museum. \nAs a plantation site on a navigable river just outside of Richmond\, Wilton was unable to avoid involvement in the Civil War. While the plantation played host to hundreds of soldiers before their battles\, Richmond’s hospitals cared for them after the smoke of battle had settled. \nDuring the American Civil War\, woman defied social convention and volunteered by the thousands to serve as nurses in both the North and the South.  This talk explores the experiences of two of those women— Phoebe Yates Pember\, chief matron of Hospital # 2 at Chimborazo\, and Sally Tompkins\, matron of Robertson Hospital.   \n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite\n\n

SUMMARY:Thomas Jefferson: Planting the Arts in America
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series. March will feature Susan Stein\, Richard Gilder Senior Curator\, Special Projects\, Monticello. \nThomas Jefferson devoted himself to creating a lasting American nation.

SUMMARY:Shenandoah’s Page Valley Style: The Painted Furniture of John Spitler\, 1790-1806
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series. April will feature Elizabeth A. Davison\, Independent Decorative Arts Historian.  \nA discussion of three generations of Spitlers\, the history and material culture of the Page Valley in current day Page County\,  Virginia\, and how this history and material culture is reflected in John Spitler’s painted designs. The Page Valley is a small valley geographically and culturally associated with the Shenandoah Valley\, located between the Massanutten and Blue Ridge mountain ranges. Massanutten is the settlement where the Spitlers lived and worked\, but the Page Valley is really the area\, hemmed in by the two mountain ranges that protected the Rhenish/Swiss culture for three generations allowing it to flourish despite its settlers trading outside the Valley with English settlers.  Ms. Davison is currently working on a book on Spitler as well as an accompanying exhibit are expected in spring\, 2020. \nImage Credit: “Courtesy Museum of the Shenandoah Valley\, Winchester\, VA.
