TR Hamilton, President of the American Country House Foundation and Director of Preservation & Collections for the Webb Deane Stevens Museum in Wethersfield, CT, will discuss the complex journey of Staatsburgh’s founder, Morgan Lewis, from young revolutionary to aged statesmen. Lewis embodies the story of how many founding fathers transitioned America into a modern nation. His story and that of many of his contemporaries is brought back to life through tangible remnants in art and architecture. A short reception with light refreshments, in the mansion’s dining room, will take place after the presentation.
