About the event
Dr. Erica Lome, Curator of Collections at Historic New England, will talk about objects and archival materials from the American Revolution embedded with memories and mythologies, based on her exhibition at the Eustis Estate, Milton, Mass. (open May 15 to November 15).
Dr. Lome manages a collection of approximately 125,000 objects spread across 38 historic properties in the region. Before coming to Historic New England, she was Curatorial Associate at the Concord Museum in Concord, Massachusetts. Erica received her PhD from the American Civilization Program at the University of Delaware and her MA from the Bard Graduate Center in New York City. She specializes in American decorative arts and furniture, with a particular interest in things made, owned, and used in New England.
As the Manchester-by-the-Sea Museum celebrates America 250, with highlights from our own collection, we are honored to host Dr. Lome as she calls attention to how we remember…
