On Wednesday, April 28, we got to chat with PHL17’s Khiree Stewart about the museum’s upcoming reopening and some of the objects, exhibits, and stories we have to share with visitors. Check out the three brief LIVE segments we did.
Historic houses contain layered stories from the people who have lived there over decades and centuries. Historic house museums often also have additional layers of meaning and mystery created by the process of preservation and restoration. Recently Board Member Emily Taggart Schricker looked back over Elfreth’s Alley Association minutes and the logbook of the restoration of house #126 to learn more about the layers in our museum today.
