Beth M. Forrest, Professor of Liberal Arts and Applied Food Studies at the Culinary Institute of America, uses cookbooks, etiquette manuals, and other primary source documents to consider the social expectations of both the host and the guest, from how to choose the menu and set the table, to the proper way to eat your soup.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/adf85ee0-de9e-11f0-8b75-ade67dcba0e7-rimg-w1110-h740-dcdbd0bd-gmir.jpg March 15 - "Vive la France! The French Influence at Staatsburgh"Snow date: March 22Join curator Maria Reynolds for a focus on objects in the collections—paintings, ceramics, furniture and architecture—which illustrate the Millses’ love for all things French, a Francophilia they shared with many Gilded Age Americans. This talk will explore the reasons why Staatsburgh resembles a French palace and the different styles the mansion encompasses. After the presentation, there will be a short optional tour in the house to focus on some of the objects on view that were highlighted during the talk.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b2f6c080-de9e-11f0-9f69-952087269dc4-rimg-w1200-h675-dc313433-gmir.jpg March 29 - "Anne Morgan: A More Worthy Gilded Age Heroine"While a fan of period dramas, Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age, historian and best-selling author Alexis Coe has made a case for inclusion of a more consequential heroine from the period, modelled on Anne Morgan, the daughter of J.P. Morgan, who used her wealth and social clout to effect progressive change for labor and women’s rights among other causes. Building on her recent Town &amp; Country article on Morgan, Coe describes how Morgan chose substantive activism over the leisure of élite society in an age when American women’s roles were undergoing transformation.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/b842a5e0-de9e-11f0-9f69-952087269dc4-rimg-w493-h740-dc747b90-gmir.jpg April 19 - "Well-to-Do Women's Dress in the Gilded Age"Learn about the clothing that a fashionable Gilded Age lady would have worn in this presentation and dressing demonstration.
