We were not able to have our Fete Day in person this year, but we had a great time with those who tuned in on June 20th, and you can still watch (or rewatch!) the presentation we put together!
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.
