SUMMARY:Deep Rivers Art Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the lives of 19th-century African American heroes through an art installation by Linda Sanders. Her art honors the achievements of historical figures highlighted in the Deep Rivers tour\, including Francis Johnson (musician and composer)\, John S. Trower (caterer and entrepreneur)\, Henry Ossawa Tanner (artist)\, and Eliza Greer (physician). Sanders will bring their stories to life through a mural installation that she will paint onsite at the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion as an artist-in-residence. \nThe installation will be located in an unfurnished room on the second story of the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion. The room will be transformed into a colorful space that immerses visitors in Sanders’ abstract graphics. Birch plywood panels will be mounted over the walls to create a smooth painting surface that will not interfere with the historic surface of the walls. On these panels\, Sanders will paint a continuous\, scenic mural in her signature style that reflects her appreciation for Cubism. \nThe party will be held in the gardens with summertime refreshments. Guests can view Linda’s mural in small groups. Admission is free of charge to anyone living within the 19144 zip code.

SUMMARY:Brandied Peaches and Ice Cream
DESCRIPTION:Join food historian Becky Diamond via ZOOM on Sunday\, August 28\, at 1:30 pm for “Brandied Peaches and Ice Cream.” \nBrandied peaches are one of the many fruit preserve recipes featured in Abby Fisher’s What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking\, the oldest known American cookbook written by a formerly enslaved person. John Trower was one of Philadelphia’s most successful 19th-century caterers\, with ice cream businesses in both Germantown and Ocean City\, NJ. Learn more about both culinary experts and their significance to African American foodways. Today ice cream is often embellished with fruity toppings such as brandied peaches. Discover the backstory of this idea and how it evolved into the ice cream sundae. Recipes for Abby’s brandied peaches and Anna Maxwell’s spiced peaches will be compared and adapted for today’s kitchens\, a perfect tie-in for National Peach Month. MAKE RESERVATIONS ONLINE

SUMMARY:Literary Parlor - Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands
DESCRIPTION:Written in 1857\, Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands is the autobiography of a Jamaican woman whose fame rivaled Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War. Seacole traveled widely before arriving in London\, where her offer to volunteer as a nurse in the war was met with racism and refusal. Undaunted\, she set out independently to the Crimea\, where she acted as doctor and “mother” to wounded soldiers while running her business\, the “British Hotel.” Told with energy\, warmth\, and humor\, her remarkable life story and accounts of hardships at the battlefront offer significant insights into the history of race politics.

SUMMARY:Popular Astronomy in 19th-century Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:“No Limit to Space” with Robert Hicks\, Ph.D.\nVisitors to Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion might discover a curious object in the children’s room\, a large 1871 cardboard planisphere that shows the stars\, a rotating disk adjustable to the appearance of the night sky at any date or time. Designed for schools and the curious public\, the planisphere speaks to the widespread interest in astronomy during the mid to late 1800s. This presentation surveys what discoveries were made in astronomy during the era and how it was promoted and taught. What did people then think about intelligent life elsewhere? The size and nature of the universe? Robert Hicks explores these topics through the work of a journalist who wrote the most popular guide to astronomy in America; the first professional woman astronomer and the first American scientist to discover a comet; and a lawyer\, astronomer\, and Civil War general who was the pre-eminent public lecturer on astronomy in the country. The presentation concludes with a virtual 1870s public observing night with a telescope! This event is offered virtually on zoom. Ticket holders will receive the zoom link on Friday and then once more on Saturday.

SUMMARY:Morris & Company: A Victorian Life Style Brand
DESCRIPTION:With Dr. Concetta Martone on ZOOM \nOne of the most influential figures of the nineteenth century\, William Morris\, was a poet\, a designer\, and an activist for social reform. His ideas about art and production stimulated a new way of thinking about the design and making of household objects. Morris established a successful commercial enterprise in the 1860s. His involvement in business bridged the gap between art and skilled manual work when industrial production was becoming the norm and stimulated consumption patterns by making readily available artful goods needed to create the sophisticated home look sought after by the flourishing Victorian middle class. This talk concentrates on Morris’ entrepreneurial efforts\, investigating the relationship between his design/production methods\, marketing strategies\, and socialist ideals.

SUMMARY:Literary Parlor - Domestic Manners in America
DESCRIPTION:Domestic Manners of the Americans is a 2-volume 1832 travel book by Frances Trollope\, which follows her travels through America. The book created a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic\, as Frances Trollope had a caustic view of Americans and found America strongly lacking in manners and learning.  She was appalled by America’s egalitarian middle-class and by the influence of evangelism that was emerging during the Second Great Awakening. Trollope was also harshly critical of slavery of African Americans in the United States\, and by the popularity of tobacco chewing\, and the consequent spitting\, even on carpets. After seeing much of what the United States had to offer\, her overall impression was not favorable.

SUMMARY:Literary Parlor - Miss Marjoribanks
DESCRIPTION:Lucilla Marjoribanks is determined to look after her widowed father and become ‘the sunshine of his life whether he likes it or not. Once installed back at home and presiding over her father’s drawing-room\, she launches herself into Carlingford society\, aiming to raise the tone with her select evening parties. Lucilla is optimistic\, resourceful\, and completely without self-doubt\, but will her indomitable nature diminish her marriage prospects? Miss Marjoribanks (1866) is a wonderfully comic depiction of the conventions and proprieties that rule a vacuous society.
