Historic houses contain layered stories from the people who have lived there over decades and centuries. Historic house museums often also have additional layers of meaning and mystery created by the process of preservation and restoration. Recently Board Member Emily Taggart Schricker looked back over Elfreth’s Alley Association minutes and the logbook of the restoration of house #126 to learn more about the layers in our museum today.

Elfreth's Alley in 'The Public Historian' and on 'Tales from Old Houses'

The Alley Cast is now a scholarly-reviewed podcast! In the most recent edition of The Public Historian, available (but paywalled) online now and headed to National Council on Public History (NCPH) members soon is a lovely review of our podcast by Lydia Mattice Brandt.

In an incredible coincidence, I reached out to Stacy Grinsfelder of True Tales from Old Houses a few weeks ago to share my admiration for her show, and our conversation led to an episode, out today, featuring our museum as well as two of our neighbors on Elfreth’s Alley, Sue and Rob Kettell.
