SUMMARY:A Fortnight in Chester County … The Philadelphia Campaign of 1777
DESCRIPTION:Revolutionary War Soldiers\n\n\n\nSean Moir presents a program describing Revolutionary War troop movements in Chester and Delaware Counties. Known as the Philadelphia Campaign\, this included three battles within two weeks: the Battle of Brandywine\, the Battle of the Clouds\, and the Paoli Massacre. \n\n\n\nSean’s presentation establishes the context of the Philadelphia Campaign within the American Revolution\, and uses unique animated maps to help tie these events to local sites. \n\n\n\nAs part of a multi-award winning county project\, sponsored in part by the National Park Service and the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP)\, Sean has worked for the last three years researching\, mapping\, and animating the conflicts of the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign\, specifically the Battle of Brandywine and the Paoli Massacre. \n\n\n\nSean Moir is owner and president of Western Heritage Mapping in Valley Forge. After graduating from Penn State University with an Information Technology degree\, Sean worked as a software developer\, and in 2007 joined Chester County as a GIS Analyst. Since 2009 Sean has sought and received multiple grants from the ABPP to research and document revolutionary war battles in Chester County. Combining his software and GIS skills with his personal interest in history\, Sean creates groundbreaking animated battle maps\, which have been presented to audiences across the region and are now being incorporated into school curriculums\, and are on display at museums. \n\n\n\nIn addition to his work in Chester County\, Sean has done work for the Pencader Heritage Area Association in Delaware (site of the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge)\, the Clivden House in Germantown (site of the Battle of Germantown) and the Friends of Valley Forge Park. Sean currently has an animated map on exhibit at the American Swedish Heritage Museum showing the growth and development of the New Sweden settlements in the 17th Century.

SUMMARY:Musings of a Barn Collector
DESCRIPTION:Close-up of barn logs\n\n\n\nSome people collect antique cars. Some people collect works of art.  Brad Tiffany\, Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust board member and building committee chair\, collects barns. That’s right – not barn models\, but the real thing. \n\n\n\nBrad will share with us stories about his collection of barns\, including the original 1832 English Lake District barn that stands on his property in Upper Providence Township\, Montgomery County. In addition he will share pictures and stories about several of the Montgomery County standard bank barns he has dismantled and saved as well as a Chester County style conical post forebay bank barn that stood in the Newtown Square area and a double decker Lake District barn from Arcola\, PA. Photos of the antique farm equipment found in these buildings will be part of the presentation. \n\n\n\nAnd most amusingly\, Brad will entertain us with the story of how his original plan to buy the barn when it was to be removed from its home in Tredyffrin Township turned into years’ long effort to save the Jones Log Barn for the community. Local residents have heard about the Jones Log Barn for years\, but many have never seen the original structure. Brad will share his pictures of the barn before it was dismantled. We are so glad that Brad did not buy the Jones Log Barn\, and has been such an integral part of the effort to save the barn for all to enjoy.

SUMMARY:NC Wyeth House & Studio\, Andrew Wyeth’s Studio\, and the Kuerner Farm Legacies of the Wyeths and National Historic Landmark in our own backyard
DESCRIPTION:NC Wyeth House\, credit Carlos Alejandro\n\n\n\nHistoric preservation planner and principal in Wise Preservation Planning\, Robert Wise will present NC Wyeth’s House & Studio\, Andrew Wyeth’s Studio and the Kuerner Farm\, three properties that had a great influence on the life and work of these two most prominent members of the Wyeth family. Wise has worked extensively with the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art over the past 15 years to achieve the highest recognition by the US government for these properties as National Historic Landmarks (NHL). NC Wyeth’s House & Studio was listed as an NHL in 1997; the Kuerner Farm\, where son Andrew Wyeth created the Helga series of works (among others) was listed in 2011. Andrew Wyeth’s Studio\, a former oneroom schoolhouse\, may actually be an officially recommended listing on the date of this lecture! \n\n\n\nNC Wyeth Studio\, credit Carlos Alejandro\n\n\n\nWise will present the exact presentations that he made to the NHL Advisory Committee of the National Park Service in Washington DC. Though either built or made famous by the Wyeths\, each property\, located in Chadds Ford\, is unique. NC built his house and studio in the early 1900’s; when he tragically died in 1945 (hit by a train at the Kuerner Farm) his family documented the studio such that it is interpreted with his many props and unfinished art\, just as he left them. The Kuerner Farm\, with its immense barn\, early 19th century house and fields\, captured the imagination of Andrew Wyeth from an early age; he painted there nearly his entire life. First purchased by his father NC\, Andrew Wyeth’s studio next door served as his home and then just his studio for nearly 70 years; nearly a third of his works were produced or finished there. \n\n\n\nWe welcome you to come learn about these wonderful places (then go see them for yourself). Come learn about the personalities behind the buildings\, the people and events that help make them Landmarks\, and of course\, the stories behind the paintings that originated there. Finally\, learn how the Brandywine Conservancy has painstakingly preserved and interpreted them.

SUMMARY:Stone Houses – Traditional Homes of R. Brognard Okie
DESCRIPTION:There is nothing tied more to the land than a stone house.  Stone represents shelter\, permanence\, and local color.  Traditional farmhouses were built with stone cleared from the fields making a statement about the wealth that could be derived from the land.  Subtle differences in stonework communicated the growth of the homestead.  At Hillside Farm\, Okie’s own house\, the small 18th century tenant farmhouse was his living laboratory for over 40 years of additions and modifications as he perfected his particular interpretation of the local architectural vernacular. \n\n\n\nThe book “Stone Houses” looks at the precedents for Okie’s work\, a sample of projects from his 50 year career and current homes that exemplify the same approach to placemaking. Copies of James Garrison’s book\, “Stone Houses” will be available for purchase and author signing at the lecture.  \n\n\n\nA portion of all book sales go towards the historic preservation efforts of the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust.
