Curtain Call: Debut of Acorn Hall’s Replicated Drapes
May 21, 2023 @ 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm
$5 – $10Celebrate Historic Preservation Month with Morris County Historical Society as we retire Acorn Hall’s original 1860s front parlor drapes from service! Dating to the first generation of Crane family residence, Acorn Hall’s drapes have borne witness to untold family and MCHS events as they endured centuries of wear, sunlight, and gravity, and are now ready to pass the baton. Learn how the drapes were painstakingly replicated as accurately as possible by MCHS Collections Assistant Noel Grabow on her 1940s Singer sewing machine, as well as MCHS’s plans for preserving the originals, as a part of our ongoing efforts to restore and preserve Acorn Hall’s historic interiors.
