letter from the presenting corporate sponsor
Dear Friends: On behalf of PECO, thank you for supporting the Chester County Historical Society (CCHS) and joining us for the 2018 Chester County Antiques & Arts Show, and celebrating the 125th anniversary of CCHS. For the past 11 years, PECO has proudly supported CCHS as the presenting corporate sponsor of the Antiques Show, one of the largest exhibitions in Southeastern Pennsylvania. CCHS is widely recognized as one of the Commonwealth’s premier history museums and educational centers, as it plays an integral role in history education, cultural diversity and also provides a positive economic impact for the region. At PECO, we are powering our region today but also reimagining the future of energy for tomorrow. Part of this effort is our investment in innovative arts and cultural programming, like that offered by CCHS, across the communities we serve. We remain deeply grateful for the efforts of those who contribute their time, energy and expertise to the Historical Society, including President Elizabeth Laurent and our very own Charles White, director of Utility Performance Assessment, who serves on the CCHS Board. We also applaud this year’s Antiques & Arts Show Chairs — L. Gordon and Alicia Walker — for their dedication to CCHS, and exceptional commitment to the success of the show and this year’s theme: “Past, Present and Future.” We hope you enjoy the wonderful selection of antique items and continue your support of the Chester County Historical Society throughout the year! Sincerely,
Craig L. Adams Executive Vice President, Exelon President and CEO, PECO
letter from the president
Dear Friends, Welcome to the 36th Annual Chester County Antiques and Art Show in support of the Chester County Historical Society! We are excited to be at our new venue, Church Farm School. The event is one of the Society’s major fundraisers, allowing us to share our love of history by celebrating our connection to significant and beautiful objects of the past. We deeply appreciate PECO’s President & CEO Craig Adams’s choice to be our Presenting Corporate Sponsor for the twelfth consecutive year. We are inspired by PECO’s generous, ongoing support of CCHS’s educational mission and especially grateful to Romona Riscoe Benson (Director of Corporate Relations) and our wonderful CCHS Trustee, Charlie White (Director, Utility Performance Assessment). Members of our dedicated Antiques Show Committee have been working to create an unforgettable experience for you. We thank this year’s Chairs, Alicia and L. Gordon Walker, for their leadership, encouragement and humor. We are grateful for the staff and many volunteers who see to it that every aspect of the show runs smoothly. We value Show Manager Wesley Sessa and this year’s exhibitors, representing thirteen states, who make the show possible. Show proceeds support CCHS’s many activities. Our newest exhibit Many Nations | Chester County, also generously supported by PECO, is an exciting look at the people who have migrated to Chester County from the 1680s to present. Linked to Many Nations is our six-part, family-friendly Passport Program, each evening exploring the culture and food of a world region. We’ve completed the final design phase for the Society’s widely-anticipated new exhibit Chester County: A Place in Time. We are partners with the international philatelic community to present the exhibit and eight-lecture series, You’ve Got Mail, showcasing the Society’s postal collection and loans from nationally significant collections. Finally, our building will soon fill with hundreds of middle and high school students from Delaware and Chester Counties along with teachers, parents, and volunteer judges, to compete in the 29th annual National History Day. Two things that continue to inspire me are the praise I often hear of our staff’s superlative knowledge and service, and how the Society brings meaning to people’s lives, as they study objects and stories of the past to better understand their place in today’s world. Let’s enjoy the show!
Elizabeth Laurent President

Penn’s colony for both economic and religious reasons. This uniquely elaborate 1740---50s spice box, donated by former CCHS director Bart Anderson, is a highlight within the noteworthy spice box collection. It embodies the transmission of traditional techniques and patterns. Its elaborate compass design includes vine-and-berry inlay and tulip patterns and is decorated on the front and two sides. Owned by the Hartshorn family and probably made by John Coulson (1737---1812), it originated in London Britain Township. Today it inspires amateur woodworkers and teachers in the trades.
TEMPERANCE
WAS A PART
of local social
reform in the early 1800s, influenced by the Second Great Awakening among American Protestants. The temperance movement, which advocated complete abstinence from alcohol, was a complex reaction to increasing alcohol consumption and an influx of immigrants. This banner was made for the Indian Spring Division, No. 293 of the Sons of Temperance in 1847 and is a rare surviving artifact of the early temperance movement. The artist was well-known sign painter John Archibald Woodside, Sr. (1781---1852), who also painted two tavern signs in the CCHS collection. In the 1830s, the period of highest consumption, adult Americans annually drank, on average, 9.5 gallons of spirits, 27 gallons of beer and .5 gallons of wine. The latest figures, from 2016, show a significant drop: 2.91 gallons of spirits, 27.5 gallons of beer, and 2.94 gallons of wine. A

Detailed prints were symmetrically arranged and printed stripes meticulously turned into concentric circles with “fussy cutting” and miniscule stitching.

Professionals sometimes bought hair from women to complete these accessories. However, in some instances family members’ hair served as a token of remembrance. This watch fob was made in 1850 for Thomas Ashbridge Sharpless from his mother Abigail (Ashbridge) Sharpless’s hair and the pendant contains a photograph of his sister Phebe Ann Sharpless.

E. Cann for the first ESCO milk cooler. They were made in West Chester in 1926. It was a completely automatic, factory---made, electric milk cooler, the first ever of its kind. It revolutionized milk safety. The usefulness and value of this Chester County product was recognized by dairy farmers because it enabled them to cool milk to a safe temperature, quickly and automatically, thereby lowering bacteria counts and increasing the marketability of their milk.

to the long history of
milling, agriculture was and still remains an important element of the local economy. Among today’s commodities are mushrooms, introduced by Italian immigrants who came in the early 1900s to work in the marble quarries. Local mushroom growers Charles and Jane Brosius recently donated these balsam mushroom boxes to help tell the story of mushrooms and the people who grew them in the 1900s.

were crucial to
the economic success of local industry from the colony’s earliest days. CCHS recognized this with an historical marker at Warwick Furnace in 1910. The furnace, built in 1737 by Samuel Nutt, was the third blast furnace in Chester County. It cast Franklin stoves, cannons, and cannon balls for the Continental Army during the
American
Revolutionary
War.
Small
household stoves such as this one donated by Peter and Eloise Smyrl were also part of its output. The furnace closed after the Civil War, with its last iron production in 1867. The land is now protected by the French and Pickering Creek Conservation Trust.

In 1893, community leaders founded Chester County Historical Society to collect and preserve the county’s rich history. Early activities of the Society included lectures, pilgrimages to historic sites, and placing historical markers. A marker was dedicated on September 11, 1895 in memory of Marquis de Lafayette at the Battle of Brandywine.

1893 CCHS’s first home for its collections was in a small room at the West Chester Public Library on Church Street. Photo by Charles Bradford, Jr.
1903 As the collection grew, CCHS moved in 1903 to larger quarters in the library at what was then West Chester Normal School. This shows the cramped quarters in 1938; by then the school had become West Chester State Teachers College.
1936 In 1936, CCHS received the gift of Memorial Hall on N. High Street according to the will of Mrs. Uriah Hunt Painter. The building was renovated and its new museum and library opened in 1942.

1942 When CCHS opened its new facility in 1942, the front room housed the research library as well as a museum exhibition.
1949 In the basement were a series of popular alcoves depicting a school room, general store with post office, blacksmith shop, tin shop, leather shop, cabinet maker’s shop, spinning and weaving display, and the country kitchen shown here in 1949.
1964 CCHS hired its first professional curator in 1964 and was now in a position to enhance its exhibits. The popular Dining in the Delaware Valley exhibition featuring four period rooms opened in October 1966. 2018 C hester C ounty A ntiques & A rts S how

1977 CCHS needed additional space for growing museum and library collections. The Fund ‘76 Campaign raised over $500,000 for a major renovation. In 1977, CCHS reopened after being closed for a year, with the redesigned space in Horticultural Hall used more effectively.
1982 In 1982, CCHS and the County of Chester entered into a joint sponsorship agreement to establish the Chester County Archives, which was dedicated in the basement of the Courthouse North Wing on High Street. In 1993, the Archives moved to its current location in the Government Services Center on Westtown Road.
1988 In 1988, CCHS purchased the old YMCA next door for further expansion and created The History Center. The design won a Preservation Award for adaptive reuse from the West Chester Downtown Foundation in 2017.

John Heyl Raser was born in Mobile, Alabama, in 1824. He came to Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1851 and by 1871 was producing portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings. Like most artists of the day, Raser visited Europe in 1875 and sketched the beautiful foreign countryside. He then opened a studio in Philadelphia in 1884, and continued painting until his death in 1901. He was a member of the Art Exhibition Gallery and the Philadelphia Art Club. This beautiful landscape is titled Panoramic view of Reading, Pa, most likely neversink mountain.

“The Chester County spice box (C. 1740) is my favorite form of early 18th century furniture. The vine and berry inlay is spectacular. It’s like fireworks.” Visit our gallery in person or online to see examples of early American furniture and fine art.
