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.

SUMMARY:Architectural Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion’s Board of Trustee members\, DuRay Montague and Concetta Martone Dragoni\, Ph.D.\, for a walking tour of the Tulpehocken Station Historic District.
