SUMMARY:A Night at the Museum - Historic talk and Firelit Tour
DESCRIPTION:A Night at the Museum welcomes you to step back into the 19th century and explore the iconic painted walls of Rufus Porter and Jonathan D. Poor by firelight.\n\nBeginning with a talk by our curator\, Jessie Burchett\, we will delve into the history of light\, tracing a timeline of invention from candles to oil lamps and gas lighting to the electric light. As the sun sets\, we will invite you to walk through our muraled rooms with only candles and oil lamps lighting the way\, experiencing these spaces as they would have been when the murals were freshly painted.\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\nJessie recently completed her Master’s degree in Museum Studies and has since joined us at the Museum as our Curator\, bringing with her a love for hunting down new evidence to better understand our shared past. After visiting Maine for a number of years\, the surrounding nature and sense of community convinced Jessie and her husband to purchase a c.1800 farmhouse in Waterford in 2024. When she isn’t fixing up her house or fallen down a research rabbit hole\, she can be found swimming in the lake\, traversing antique stores\, or hiding away with a good book.\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact the Museum\n 207.647.2828 or staff@rufusportermuseum.org\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW
