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 2016 Chester County Antiques Show. For the past nine years, PECO has proudly supported CCHS as the Presenting Corporate Sponsor of the Antiques Show, one of the largest antiques shows in Southeastern Pennsylvania. At PECO, we work to drive innovation, advancing smart energy to provide safe, reliable, affordable and clean energy and energy services for our customers. Part of that effort is our investment in innovative arts and cultural programming in our communities. We value the communities where we live and work, and invest more than $5 million each year to support hundreds of local programs and organizations, playing an integral role in supporting economic growth across our region. Our 2,400 dedicated employees provide leadership, financial and in-kind support for hundreds of organizations and nonprofits, and provide more than 14,000 volunteer hours each year. We remain deeply grateful for the efforts of those who contribute their time, energy and expertise to CCHS, including Interim President David Reinfeld and Charlie White, PECO’s director of Customer Strategy & Governance, who serves on the CCHS Board. We also applaud this year’s Antiques Show Chairs — Dale and Susan Frens, and Basel and Colleen Frens — for their exceptional commitment to the success of the show and their dedication to CCHS. 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 interim president
Dear Friends, Welcome to the 34th Annual Chester County Antiques Show, held in support of the Chester County Historical Society (CCHS)! The annual Antiques Show serves as our primary fundraiser while showcasing interesting and beautiful objects of centuries past. As the Historical Society looks forward to 2016, we would like to acknowledge the efforts of our late president, Rob Lukens (2011-2015) and our past chairman, William S. Latoff (2007-2009). Rob and Bill brought a special combination of professional experience and contagious enthusiasm for local history. The Board of Trustees and staff continue to build on their vision to share and preserve the history of Chester County. For those that have attended the Antiques Show in the past, you know that this event is a unique experience unlike anything you will find in Southeastern Pennsylvania. For newcomers, prepare to be amazed! Over the course of a few days, a veritable small town of antiques is built inside the Phelps School field house. The show is filled with treasures that appeal to all and provides various educational opportunities throughout the weekend. We would like to thank PECO, our Presenting Corporate Sponsor for the tenth year in a row, for its inspiring support of the show and CCHS’s mission. Because of PECO, our educational programs are much stronger and provide numerous learning opportunities for everyone from pre-school to high school students. We would also like to acknowledge the contributions of Dale and Susan Frens & Basel and Colleen Frens, this year’s show chairs, for their invaluable guidance and leadership as well as the efforts of the committee members and volunteers who make the show a success. Phyllis Copeland, this year’s Honorary Show Chair, has been a longtime supporter of CCHS and the Antiques Show. We are delighted to have her join us at this event. As we announced in the 2015 show catalog, the Chester County Historical Society is creating a new 6,000 sq. ft. permanent multi-gallery exhibition Chester County: A Place in History. This exhibition will provide a dramatic experience for audiences, from school students to tourists, by focusing on stories from over 300 years of Chester County history. In addition, the new galleries will feature over 1,000 sq. ft. of visible storage to increase the accessibility of our renowned collections. To date, we have met our anonymous donor’s $1 million challenge match and raised more than $2.8 million of our $3.7 million goal from our members and community partners towards Chester County: A Place in History. Please contact me if you would like additional information about the exhibition or if you are able to help us reach our goal. In addition, we are working on a very special collaboration with renowned artist Adrian Martinez. This exhibition, which opens in November, will showcase a unique series of twelve original paintings depicting the evolution of Chester County from frontier to farmland in the last half of the eighteenth century, as well as artifacts from the CCHS collection. The exhibition will feature noted Chester County botanist Humphry Marshall. A key component of the project is the expansion of our museum’s audience. Specifically, CCHS will engage schools through educational materials designed for use in the exhibit and in the classroom that will allow Adrian Martinez’s paintings to bring early American history to life. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to this year’s dealers who make this show possible. We look forward to seeing you on the show floor! With sincere appreciation,
David B. Reinfeld Interim President and VP, Development

to win or not to win that was the question in the 1991 court case that centered on two games that were part of a 1990 carnival in downingtown. anyone could pay for chances to try to knock down a milk bottle pyramid to win prizes. however, some of the milk bottles seemed too heavy. another game at the same booth tested one’s aim. could the baseball go through the opening at the top of the milk can? maybe not, if the milk can was at a tricky angle and was obscured by carnival toys. the defendants were initially convicted of theft by deception but were eventually acquitted.

The Chester County Historical Society acknowledges the contributions of two leaders we lost in the last year.
rob lukens, phd
(1972-2015)
CCHS Pr esiden t
Rob Lukens became our President in 2011, but his long association with the Chester County Historical Society encompassed other, earlier roles: volunteer, intern, Collections Manager, and guest curator. Rob brought energy, passion, and a commitment to share Chester County’s history with the community beyond the walls of CCHS. As President, he found new ways to expand our audience and make history relevant. Throughout his illness he remained committed to CCHS, especially in developing plans for our new permanent exhibition. Everyone who met Rob soon knew that he loved Chester County history and Chester County Historical Society. The staff, volunteers, and board of trustees remain committed to building on his legacy of outreach and innovation.
william s. latoff
(1948 -2016)
Boa r d Ch a ir m a n Emer it us
Bill Latoff was a longtime member and generous supporter of the Chester County Historical Society. For many years Bill served as a member of the CCHS Board of Trustees, serving as Chair 2007-2009. He was later named Chairman Emeritus. His service on the board had a lasting impact and helped lay the groundwork for our current success. In 2010 he received the CCHS Founders Award in recognition of the steadfast leadership he provided to CCHS and Chester County. Bill was fiercely committed to many organizations in his community, and CCHS is grateful and honored that he remained dedicated to supporting us and our mission.

This November a groundbreaking show is coming to the Chester County Historical Society. Adrian Martinez presents the Visionary World of Humphry Marshall will consist of twelve original paintings by artist Adrian Martinez on display along with artifacts from CCHS’s collection. The exhibit will be grounded in research into the period of 1750 to 1800, when Humphry Marshall was most active. And if you immediately thought, “who is Humphry Marshall and how could he inspire twelve paintings?” — read on.
