(Grumblethorpe, home of the Wistar family. Circa 1870)
Today I got acquainted with the society's main building, registered for the month and began working on my first project, rehousing the Eastwick collection. This collection of the papers relating to the Wister family in Germantown contains some interesting materials. One of papers I found was ballad written about the area of Philadelphia known as Chestnut Hill. The hand writing of many of the letters was pretty, but was not always particularly neat.
