February will feature Terry Brock\, Assistant Director of Archaeology\, James Madison’s Montpelier. \nExploring the Montpelier South Yard: Archaeology\, Slavery\, and Public Engagement at James Madison’s Montpelier. \nArchaeology is one of the critical tools used to understand the lives of enslaved African Americans in Virginia. This talk will discuss how the intersection of archaeology and descendant community engagement were used to understand the past and present at James Madison’s Montpelier. Assistant Director of Archaeology Terry Brock will discuss ways that archaeology uncovered the homes and work places of African American enslaved by James Madison\, and how the discoveries reveal the different ways that these spaces were redefined by enslaved African Americans. He will also discuss how working with the community\, in partnership\, has led to rethinking the house museum landscape. \nThis lecture is sponsored in part by the Louise B. Cochrane Foundation. \nTickets available through Eventbrite.  \n URL:http://www.wiltonhousemuseum.org/event/exploring-the-montpelier-south-yard/ CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://www.wiltonhousemuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/Brock_Cover.png ORGANIZER;CN="Wilton%20House%20Museum":MAILTO:kwatkins@wiltonhousemuseum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20200319T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20200319T190000 DTSTAMP:20200118T175301 CREATED:20190724T162315Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200102T201657Z UID:3849-1584640800-1584644400@www.wiltonhousemuseum.org SUMMARY:Interpreting the Evidence: Recreating George and Martha Washington's Front Parlor DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series. March features Adam Erby\, Curator at Mount Vernon. \nInterpreting the Evidence: Recreating George and Martha Washington’s Front Parlor Utilizing Account Books\, Inventories\, and Fragmentary Objects \nIn September 2013\, Mount Vernon curators made an exciting discovery; a previously unknown ledger kept by George Washington’s friend and neighbor\, George William Fairfax\, appeared at auction. At first glance\, the ledger seemed to have little to do with Mount Vernon\, but as curators mined the document they discovered that much of the London-made furniture listed in the ledger came to Mount Vernon\, either by purchase or gift\, when its original owner returned to England at the outbreak of the American Revolution. \nAdam Erby’s lecture will trace the fascinating tale of these furnishings from the London warerooms of William Gomm and Son to the grand\, but now lost\, Virginia plantation of George William Fairfax and his wife Sally\, and finally to the principal rooms at Mount Vernon. The talk will demonstrate that as these furnishings moved from place to place through retail purchase\, auction and gift\, they served as a powerful means of establishing Fairfax\, and later Washington\, as a sophisticated grandee on the edges of empire.The lecture will focus on the most important find from the ledger\, the rediscovery of the furnishings of Mount Vernon’s front parlor. \nThis lecture is sponsored in part by the Louise B. Cochrane Foundation. \nTickets for this event are available through Eventbrite. \n URL:http://www.wiltonhousemuseum.org/event/interpreting-the-evidence-recreating-george-and-martha-washingtons-front-parlor/ LOCATION:Wilton House Museum\, 215 South Wilton Road\, Richmond\, VA\, 23226\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://www.wiltonhousemuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/Erby_Event.png ORGANIZER;CN="Wilton%20House%20Museum":MAILTO:kwatkins@wiltonhousemuseum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20200409T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20200409T190000 DTSTAMP:20200118T175301 CREATED:20190724T162553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200102T201548Z UID:3852-1586455200-1586458800@www.wiltonhousemuseum.org SUMMARY:Of the Highest Finish: Silver in the White House Collection DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series.
