Ms. Arton said, “This is such an exciting event and we are thrilled to welcome Esther Crain to Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum. In addition to her talk and book signing, there will be a fantastic silent auction which the committee has worked hard to put together. We look forward to entertaining another sell-out crowd this year!”
Ms. Crain’s book is a fascinating account of the Gilded Age in New York City and takes a broad look at the political and social changes during one of the most transformative eras in the city’s history.
Ms. Crain is also the founder and editor of the very popular and well-reviewed website, Ephemeral New York, which chronicles the city’s past. Ephemeral New York has been featured in numerous publications including the New York Times, New York Daily News, and New York Post. Ms. Crain regularly works with historical groups and non-profit organizations to give talks and walking tours that explore the hidden remains and forgotten pockets of New York City.
The event will also feature a formal traditional English tea catered by Julyen’s Table. The event is generously sponsored by Cottages & Gardens Publications, Bankwell, Bigelow Tea, and King Industries.
Tickets for the Tea are $35 for members and $45 for non-members and hats are welcomed! Proceeds will support the Museum’s artistic, cultural, and educational programs.
