SUMMARY:Dr. Howard Miller Lecture Series: Thomas Jefferson's Revolutionary Garden at Monticello
DESCRIPTION:Peter Hatch will present Thomas Jefferson’s Revolutionary Garden at Monticello. Hatch\, Director of Gardens & Grounds Emeritus for the Thomas Jefferson Foundation\, was responsible for maintenance\, interpretation\, and restoration of the 2\,400-acre landscape at Monticello from 1977 to 2012. Thomas Jefferson wrote that “the greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture\,” and Monticello’s 1\,000-foot-long\, terraced vegetable garden became an experimental laboratory\, an Ellis Island of new and unusual vegetable novelties from around the globe. \nWhile growing over 330 vegetable and 170 fruit varieties\, Jefferson was also a pioneer in supporting farmer’s markets and promoting vegetable cookery. This revolutionary garden resulted in a revolutionary cuisine in the kitchen at Monticello. Restored in 1984\, the garden and the Jefferson legacy continue to inspire the farm to table movement today. As a tie to our theme for 2022\, Peter will incorporate collecting issues at Monticello with stories of plants dying\, seed collecting compromised by naughty harvesters\, varieties not being true to name\, and more. Free\, reservations requested. \nShare on FacebookTweet

SUMMARY:Dr. Howard Miller Lecture Series: Amalia Kussner\, miniaturist
DESCRIPTION:Amalia was a miniature portrait artist and a “darling” of the Gilded Age – and became one of the most sought-after artists of that time. Her career would include painting many of those premier families and European and Russian royalty. With her adventurous spirit\, she traveled during the Boer War in South Africa to paint Cecil Rhodes. In addition to her artistic talent\, she was quite adept at marketing herself and commanding impressive commissions. Amalia was clearly a woman ahead of her time. \nThis presentation will cover the full story of her life\, starting with her early years in Terre Haute\, the incredible rise to fame in New York in the 1890s\, and her final years in Europe after 1900. You will see images of a wide variety of her work\, both from museums and a private collection. \nShare on FacebookTweet

SUMMARY:Dr. Howard Miller Lecture Series: Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association
DESCRIPTION:The Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association: 162 Years of Collecting George Washington \nWhen the women of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association took ownership of George Washington’s estate in 1860\, they faced a daunting task: the rooms of the Mount Vernon mansion were nearly empty. In the six decades since Washington’s death\, his family’s possessions had been dispersed widely through gifts\, bequests\, and sales. But over the last 162 years\, the MVLA—the private non-profit that still operates Washington’s Virginia estate—has tracked down thousands of original artifacts\, from furniture to silver\, clothing to locks of hair. Today\, the organization boasts a rich collection that tells the story of George Washington as general\, president\, and private citizen. This lecture will explore the MVLA’s collecting practices and priorities\, highlighting significant acquisitions from the 19th century to today. \nJessie MacLeod is an associate curator at Mount Vernon\, where she has worked since 2012. She received a B.A. in history from Yale University and an M.A. in public history from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Jessie has curated numerous exhibits\, including Mount Vernon: The Story of an American Icon (2022) and the award-winning Lives Bound Together: Slavery at George Washington’s Mount Vernon (2016–2021). She was also a contributor to the Lives Bound Together exhibit publication. As a member of the curatorial team\, she conducts research on Mount Vernon’s collection of fine and decorative arts and contributes to refurnishing projects in the mansion and outbuildings. \n  \nShare on FacebookTweet
