Eye on Antiques: Crescent City Silver
New discoveries in antique silver crafted in New Orleans tell the tale of the city’s rich and diverse cultural heritage—and not all French. Today New Orleans silver is a collectible of growing importance and is bringing record prices at auction.
Yankee Occupation
Rick Morris, a New England architect with a long interest in historic houses, and his partner, Mark Willard, saved a Virginia tavern and revealed an astonishing array of original, untouched paint finishes.
Puzzle House
Ohio antiques dealer Marjorie Staufer and her husband, Al, bought a First Period Massachusetts house and solved the puzzle of reassembling it without instructions. It showcases her pioneering collection of early-18th-Century antiques in original finishes.
Free-Range Farm
Rhode Island’s Coggeshall Farm, the lone survivor among hundreds of similar tenant farms that fed the wealthy city of Bristol in the 18th and early 19th Centuries, draws visitors to see and pet the heritage livestock and fowl that roam the grounds.
Picnic!
Grab fixings from the cupboards and fridge, pack a basket, and head outdoors to soak in the sunshine. We pair simple foods with traditional tableware crafted by heritage artisans to pull together picnics our ancestors might recognize—and certainly enjoy.
Life in Early America: A Club for the Ages
Formed in 1732 as much for socializing as angling, the Schuylkill Fishing Company in Philadelphia has survived fire, pestilence, war, and several moves, making it one of the oldest—and most exclusive—men’s clubs in the world.
Short Tracks and Stout Horses
Improvising with what they had, 17th-Century Virginia gentlemen carved short racetracks from the wilderness and bred their work horses for speed. In doing so, they devised entertainment that attracted crowds (and wagers) and developed the American Quarter Horse.
The Real Margaret Brent
Mistakenly lauded as the first American suffragette, Margaret Brent in truth was Maryland’s first hero. Although denied a vote in the assembly, she still took charge to save the fledgling province from a Virginia take-over in the mid-1600s.
