Kent Delord House Museum
Добавлен 16 июл 2020
The Kent-Delord House Museum is located in Plattsburgh, NY. The house was a simple one-story frame building when Henry Delord purchased it from Mrs. James Kent in 1810. Delord drew his own plans for the expansion of what is now a rare and stately structure. The home remained with the family for over a century. After the death of Fannie Delord Hall in 1913, the house was bequeathed to Physicians Hospital. In 1924, William T. Miner purchased it. After extensive renovations, he set up a Trust to establish it as a museum for the citizens of the area. In 1971, the Kent-Delord House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Join us as we explore the stories of those who lived in the house, and examine life through their eyes and belongings!

Thanks for the great video promoting the garden club, Sam. 😊
people have really never changed, a 12 year old today might do pretty much the exact same thing, thanks for sharing!
I don't have sight in one eye, and I tell you - drawing or painting anything is truly difficult without 3D vision. Now I know that Trumbull wss an even greater artist than I thought!
is this one printed by Mathew Carey? i got a very similar bible on ebay today and I'm looking forward to it arriving soon! also me and Frances share the same birthday exactly 190 years apart:)
Thank you for this video! can you please confirm we are now in year 6000 according to this: ruclips.net/video/dKEWMLzaeOc/видео.htmlsi=rweVBRg83fn8FJjm
What a wonderful recap of a great event! Thank you to our museum director, Samantha, for a beautiful video.

I'm intereste.d in knowing what you thought about your Eau de Cologne
I finally received it, and to be perfectly honest, it's not my cup of tea. I'm sure it's appealing to many, but I find it a bit too musky, and not as citrus forward and light as I was hoping. Thanks for asking!
I've got some farina cologne. You can still buy it. Similar to 4711 but with a musk undertone. I put it on the back of my neck if I feel headachy.
A little arsenic for your translucent pale skin, a little red mercury for your lips, maybe some white lead to cover the rough patches…and the strychnine seems like no big deal.
Victorian medicine is basically giving people smaller and smaller doses of poison until the patients stop dying.
Thanks for posting. It was the best eclipse ever. I had to activate the headlights, on my bicycle.
Wouldn't it be easier to put your shoes on and lace them up prior to your corset? If you left this part to the end, you would be fighting yards of linen and silk. On a wet day, how would a parasol keep you dry. My beautiful dress would be soaked and extra heavy. Didn't they have a large brolly? If you have time and the resources, perhaps you could narrate whilst a model dresses herself. I would visit the Kent Delord House Museum, but Plattsburg, New York, is some distance from the UK. I saw a museum in Bath, UK which provided perhaps 10 modern recreations of historical costumes so visitors could try them on. I'd love to dress up as a Civil War lady, as would many others. Thank you for the video.
so gorgeous! Love the whales tails on the top!
Cameo collecting was a popular area of collecting among nobility and gentlemen of the era going back many hundreds of years. A well carved hardstone cameo can be an amazing piece to look at and hold. I am lucky enough to have a few great examples put away.
I'm growing a tea plant on my windowsill in the uk. Every so often I treat myself to a cup.
this is so sad
I love signet rings nice chunky & fat durable heavy duty feeling
Love this topic, nice little lesson on hair curling tools of the past! I love the marcel wave of the 20-30's!
I've studied a lot about ancient Rome, but this is the first video I've heard mention of how they used to achieve the curls made so famous in their statues. Very awesome.
Странно, что совсем нет комментариев. Было очень интересно. Раньше одежда была красивой и интересной, хотя, наверное и не очень удобной. Но сегодня все ходят в "мешках", все одинаковые и безликие. Многие поспорят, что современная одежда просторная и удобная. Но нет! Сегодняшние производители одежды забыли, что такое конструирование одежды. Поэтому кажущаяся на первый взгляд удобной одежда таковой не является.
Clothing from the Victorian period was definitely more tailored to fit individuals than modern clothing!
What I found amazing is a mention of electricity in 1832! What man-made objects utilized or produced electricity in 1832? Off I go to find out. Thank you for bringing this wonderful journal to us! Happy New Year.
Beautiful handwriting.
Happy Holidays to you!🎄🎄🎄🎀🎀🥂
THOUGHT HE WAS A BISHOP
Great costumes everyone!
If you want to see the work of an amateur headstone carver, go to the cemetery in Windsor, Vermont. There are several slate headstones where the artist planned poorly and ran out of room for a word at the right hand edge. He literally put in a ^ caret and carved the rest of the word above. I’m trying to imagine the reaction of the bereaved family.
Is that the only cemetery in Windsor? I am most certainly planning a trip to visit it!
@@samanthawilliams7893 It’s the one right in the middle of town. Not far from the very cool Precision Museum.
Regrettably, the Colin Firth photo you showed has him not only standing with his coat unbuttoned and open in an unacceptably slovenly manner, but of an unusually poor quality tailoring in the first place. Perhaps seek advice from Zack Pinsent or Priorattire regarding just how close coats were cut at the time when Mr Darcy's character was written.
I’m knitting Norwegian mittens for a class that I am taking.
Any chance you still have that bible in hand? Would really like to see a photo of the page enlarged of the chronological order so we can Al read what it says?
Why are you not wearing gloves to keep the acid of your hands from the pages?
Thanks for the question! Gloves can also hold contaminants - both oils or acids, as well as physical things like dust or debris. We wash our hands before handling any artifact, and depending on the individual artifact, may use gloves as well. In this case, it wasn't necessary.
Wish I could come on by but I am your fortunately not in your continent
That’s a lot of food, but the quantity is tempered by the necessity of choosing the lesser of two weevils.
The widespread deforestation of the time made it worse. Today, Vermont is 80% forested, but 120 years ago it was 80% open land. I have noticed that the Missisquoi River rises faster and higher after a rain once the leaves have fallen. Back then, with nothing to absorb or slow the water, mills were vulnerable to regular “freshets.”
"... not safe ..." Perfect gift for my Nephew!
As my mom used to say when we were kids, “Ok, do what you like, but I don’t want to hear the screaming.” There were various “Projects for Boys” books in the early 20th century which had things like “Build your own diving helmet out of a bucket“ or “build an airplane out of scrap lumber, put your little brother in it, and push it off the barn roof.” I guess it was an alternative to contraception.
That's quite alarming. Might not break the pipe,but might break your ear drum!
Learned something new and you've given me a new appreciation for cranberry glass! Keep up the good work!
I would like to know if there is anyway someone could read a version of this bible online?
Sorry for the delayed reply, but at the moment, we do not have a digitized version of this book.
I wonder if this is an artifact of the late Victorian outdoor health and fitness craze. They were all about hiking and mountain climbing. A pendant like that would be the perfect gift for someone who had suddenly discovered the outdoors.
Distinctly possible. Frank Hall liked to take trips into the Adirondacks, and I thought it might belong to him, but have no documentation to verify that.
The historical fact I love about chamber pots is that in the 18th/19th century they were available with the portrait of just about any famous politician on the inside.
Indeed!
❤
Спасибо! Огонь! ❤
But the old system allowed for the election of such statesmen as S. Baldrick from Dunny on the Wold.
Very true! Free turnips for everyone!
Cameos are not only beautiful, but interesting. I didn't know much of the history behind them until now. Very interesting video, thank you!
I have heard it pronounced “Onny swah kee moll ee ponse.” For whatever that’s worth. But yes, that is a mystery. Did they ever travel to the UK? Is it an official sort of pin that a companion of the order would wear, or more of a commemorative thing?
It must be commemorative, but, again, why the heck would it be in our collections?
hi how do you get such a bible is there any way
Thank you for sharing the history of the combs. I was given a comb that was passed down in my family. It’s been sitting a keepsake box for as long as I remember. I appreciate this video.
Could you list what we’re seeing here?
At the last one, we have a black bean soup, some corn cakes, a Victorian milk pudding with a blueberry compote, and some Parisian hot chocolate.
Any chance you can do a video of a page in that Bible. Its called the "The chronological index of years and times". Thanks
We'll look into it - thanks for the suggestion!

A modern medieval scholar wrote “I despise all this marriage innovation. A marriage is a sacred contract between two men over the just disposition of property.”
I still use one. It works great.
