SUMMARY:Wedding of the Year – 1938
DESCRIPTION:In 2003\, Doug Humes began leasing space for his law office in an old Bryn Mawr mansion.  His curiosity about the original owners\, the Jacobs\, sent him on a quest to find their story\, and over the years he collected photos\, genealogy\, and stories on the family\, and finally the Holy Grail was delivered to his office – a two volume set of wedding photos from the 1938 wedding of daughter Louise Jacobs to dashing pilot Hubbard Phelps.  Humes took the photos and added music to create a wedding video.  He will give an introduction to the Jacobs family\, followed by the 20-min. wedding video\, and then tell about what happened to the principal players after that wedding day. \n\n\n\nCome out and enjoy an actual “Philadelphia Story! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoug Humes is an attorney\, writer and lecturer and has been involved in various capacities with the Newtown Square Historical Society for 25+ years\, and currently serves on the Marple Township Historical Commission and the Delaware County Heritage Commission.

SUMMARY:Philadelphia Mansions: Stories and Characters Behind the Walls
DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia’s grand mansions and architectural treasures reflect its iconic status in American history\, for each Greek Revival home and Corinthian column tells a compelling story of the people behind it. Historic Strawberry Mansion in North Philadelphia was home to Judge William Lewis\, a Patriot who defended colonists accused of treason and was Aaron Burr’s defense lawyer. Socialite\, millionaire and world-renowned art collector Henry McIlhenny made his home at Rittenhouse Square and left his art collection to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Famed architect Addison Mizner’s Spanish Colonial Revival house La Ronda brought the stark contrast of South Florida to Philadelphia. \n\n\n\nAuthor Thom Nickels will present stories from his recently released book\, Philadelphia Mansions: Stories and Characters Behind the Walls. His lecture will focus on the historic mansions and the people behind them\, including Fairmount Park’s Strawberry Mansion\, the galloping life of Hope Montgomery Scott in and outside the gilded halls of Ardrosson and Loch Aerie Mansion in Frazer (next door to what is now Home Depot)\, an estate which was nearby Nickels’ childhood home. \n\n\n\nThe author of 13 books\, including Philadelphia Architecture\, Out in History\, Two Novellas and Literary Philadelphia: A History of Prose & Poetry in the City of Brotherly Love\, Nickels has written extensively for many publications including The Philadelphia Inquirer\, the Philadelphia Daily News\, Philadelphia Magazine and City Journal\, New York.

SUMMARY:The History of the King of Prussia Inn
DESCRIPTION:The King of Prussia Inn (c. 1756)\, “The Sign of the King” welcomed visitors for almost 200 years\, and may have been the source for the town receiving its name.  A day’s ride from Philadelphia\, it was a meeting place for locals and for travelers alike\, where the news of the day was discussed over a drink or a hearty meal. Learn how during the winter of 1777-78\, the Inn was a popular haunt for both patriots and loyalists alike. \n\n\n\nHear how the very location that created its popularity would eventually lead to its demise\, first in 1952\, when it was decided that US Route 202 needed to be widened from two lanes to four\, thus stranding the Inn on an island in the center\, and again in 2000\, when it was decided that the historic 550-ton structure needed to once again be spared from the wrecking ball\, and the only option would be to pick it up and moved less than ½ mile away to safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Morrison is the President of the King of Prussia Historical Society (est. 1953) and a member of the board of directors of the Tredyffrin Easttown Historical Society (est. 1936). He is the author of three books pertaining to local history\, and a third-generation antiques dealer and appraisal consultant. \n\n\n\nA graduate of Eastern University in St. Davids\, PA\, he is currently involved in historic restoration and architectural interior design.  His background has given him a unique perspective as it relates to the identification of historic locations long since lost to progress\, and he has personally helped restore and preserve two historic properties in Chester County\, as well as countless artifacts and manuscripts. \n\n\n\nIf you are unaware of your past\, you are destined to repeat it\, and not even know why J. Michael Morrison\n\n\n\nThe Trust is grateful to Dr. Harold Sweetman and the Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens\, for their generous sponsorship of the “The History of the King of Prussia Inn” lecture on May 23. Plan to arrive early for the lecture and enjoy the botanical gardens wonderful collection of trees\, shrubs\, wildflowers and ferns.
