Germantown’s Stenton, one of the earliest and best-preserved historic houses in Philadelphia, will host “Understanding Heirlooms: A Workshop Exploring your Family Objects” on Saturday, January 14 from 1-4 p.m.
Participants will discover how to incorporate family heirlooms into genealogical research to learn more about family history.
This fun and informative workshop will be held by Kory Berrett and Dr. Patricia Keller of Berrett Conservation Studio.
The program is actually three parts; it includes an overview of using objects to do genealogical research; a guide to reading objects and using what you learn in your family research; and instructions on how to properly care for your heirlooms at home.
It’s a great way to engage with one of Philadelphia’s most treasured historic sites and learn a little something personal along the way.
Refreshments will be provided. Cost is $15 per person, $10 for Friends of Stenton. Call (215) 329-7312 or email programs@stenton.org to reserve your spot.
