We are closed today in honor of Memorial Day. We are grateful to all of the men and women that have served in our military. The Hunter’s only son, James Wilson Hunter Jr, served as a doctor in World War I. Our Children’s Membership program of the month was a guided tour of Elmwood Cemetery where the Hunter family is better. The children had such a great time exploring and learning about this beautiful Victorian cemetery. They completed a Victorian symbolism scavenger hunt and left wildflowers at the graves of the Hunters. Traveling on the historic trollies in New Orleans has our minds on trolley and tram travel in the Victorian era. Come check our our travel exhibit this summer to learn more about how this technological innovation changed how Victorians traveled and experienced the world. Exhibit opening June 15 through August 31st. We’re off to New Orleans for @aamersofficial conference! We prepared by thumbing through this old book from the Hunter’s library given to Harriet by her brother James, dated 1928. Swipe to see it’s beautiful artwork and inscription. More NOLA behind the scenes to come! Thank you to everyone who attended the excellent lecture this morning from Museum Educator, A.J. Orlikoff, from Hampton Roads Naval Museum. We had a packed Front Parlor. Looking forward to more lectures in our summer series! Did you know that Naval vessels in the late nineteenth century carried animals onboard as mascots? Check out these cute kittens and a goat. To learn more, come to our free lecture tomorrow at 11AM titled “From Civil War to Guilded Age: US Sailors in the Victorian Era” presented by AJ Orlikoff with the Hampton Roads Naval Museum.
