HFSDV Spring 2011 Program: Recreating Receipts of a 1715 Manuscript Saturday, March 10, 2012 10:00 am – approx. 3:00 p.m. Registration begins at 9:30 am Stenton 4601 North 18th Street Philadelphia, PA 19140-1026 One of the jewels of Stenton’s collections is a 1715 handwritten manuscript receipt book. Based on initials found next to one of the receipts, it is believed that it may have belonged to one of the house’s earliest residents. Susan McLellan Plaisted, an HFSDV member and Proprietress of Heart to Hearth Cookery, will share her experiences in recreating the book’s receipts. The original manuscript receipt book will be on display and included in our afternoon tour of the site. A Georgian brick mansion built in the 1720s, Stenton was home to three generations of the Logan family. James Logan served as Secretary to William Penn, and was the de facto superintendent of Indian affairs at the time of the 1737 Walking Purchase. Repaired fragments from extensive archaeology conducted on the site are part of the interpretation. The house’s furnishings include numerous Logan family pieces. The site also boasts an outstanding collection of early American textiles and clothing This will be a “brown bag lunch” event; beverage will be provided. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Registration for Recreating Receipts of a 1715 Manuscript DUE BY: February 25, 2012 $12.00 Members/$15.00 Guests To register, copy and paste this information onto a Word document, print it and send the completed form and your check made out to HFSDV* to: Margaret Quinn, Treasurer 10 Deerwood Drive Mercerville, NJ 08619 Member Name(s):____________________________________________________________________Guest Name(s):____________________________________________________________________ Phone Number __________________________ E-mail address:_____________________________________ Total Enclosed: __________________________ Please include a note in the Memo area of your check that this is for 1715 Manuscript |
