Had a festive time at the #shelburnemuseum in Vermont. It was impressive how they got the ferry ship Ticonderoga to the site.

Bridge Du Jour: the Museum Bridge in Shelburne. The double-barrel bridge was originally located in Cambridge, VT. It was moved to the Shelburne Museum in the early 1950s by Mrs. Webb.

This portrait of Nancy Foy Lawson is a rare example of a commission featuring an African American women in nineteenth-century American art. Maine artist William Matthew Prior painted Lawson and her husband in Boston. Prior breaks with precedence and adopts conventions for this portrait similar to those of his white sitters. Lawson is portrayed wearing an elegant dark green dress with layers and large snow white collar with patterned edge as well as a light offwhite bonnet with ruffles and peach tie. Her only visible jewelry is a strong gold ring on her right hand and a black tie necklace with gold clasp. She is holding an open book, signifying her education and literacy. Lawson sits in front of luxurious red drapery and a pastoral landscape backdrop, an artistic trope typical in painted portraits of the time. Married to a clothing merchant, Lawson was originally from Maine, though lived at the time in Boston. This painting suggests her elite status as a free Black woman. Prior likely encountered Lawson and her husband William through their shared connections to a nineteenth century religious movement that sometimes espoused equality among races and genders.

An inviting empty bench on a green lawn scattered with brown leaves next to an old shade tree with branches overhanging it.

A variety of antique bottles in clear, yellow and brown on display in a backlit case.

Inside an old, restored house, a round metal bowl with 5 apples in it sits on a wooden table in front of a window with a white curtain across the bottom. The window looks out onto a big, old tree with green leaves (even in October!). A lantern hangs from the wall to the right of the window in the heavily shaded room.

From shelburnemuseum.org “Built in Shelburne in 1906, the Ticonderoga (fondly known as the “Ti”) operated as a day boat on Lake Champlain, serving ports along the New York and Vermont shores until 1953. In 1955, it was moved two miles overland from the lake to Shelburne Museum in a remarkable engineering effort that stands as one of the great feats of maritime preservation.”
