I really liked this window and the view of the garden outside. The picture is not out of focus - the antique glass is not a smooth as modern glass.
These are wax relief's of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
These look very similar to the windows that were used in the Fairbanks house (to the untrained eye). The panes are held together by lead.
This is the oldest house at the Museum. It was built in 1695.
The Shapiro's were a Jewish family who immigrated from Russia to escape religous persecution. Several such familys settled in the Portsmouth, NH area.
This family had only one daughter, so she had more room and things than many children of the time. She was about ten at the time illustrated.
While the Jewish people were severely persecuted in Tzarist Russia before they immigrated, their faith remained strong in their new country.
The cooking demonstration we saw was based on about 1790. Sugar was still sold as a bulk product at that time, not as a packaged product.
