The Gilded Age American Heiress Exhibition opened to the public here at Mapperton on the 5th May. However, if you can’t make it in person you can buy a ticket (3 cups of coffee) for a virtual hour long tour with me, and support this ongoing project over at www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmo...
A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age.
Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.
Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.
The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before.
“With the aid of cutting-edge AI technology, we've resurrected Alberta's voice, allowing her to answer visitors’ burning questions about her remarkable journey,” says Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke.

My husband has alzheimers. Our planned trip to London and the beautiful English countryside were put on hold , in fact, we may never get there. At 75 and 78 it just may be impossible. We do, however, travel with Julie and Luke almost daily. We often rewatch episodes , a pleasure for me and he doesn't remember watching the first time... Thank you for sharing your home and your lives. It makes these old Alabama history buffs happy!

I’ll forever be puzzled by the fact that they have been married for at least 20 years and therefore Julie has been part of the family for that long but looks like this is the first time she comes in contact with all this clothing, letters, history etc. if I had the privilege of being part of such a family I’d get lost in the house looking for treasures or reading everything I’d be allowed to touch all the time!

Unearthing countless treasures & it’s really exciting that we get to tag along. Even if it’s not quite the same as being there, being on video, Julie’s enthusiasm in finding all these wonderful things is contagious. It’s like you’re on a scavenger hunt & every thing you find is even more beautiful than the previous item. I can’t wait to see what comes to light next. 🤗

Julie speaks of framing documents. Of course your artisan knows about the advantages of using acid-free materials when touching photos and documents, and a certain kind of protective glass against potential sunlight.

@earlaagaard8175 17 күн бұрын

You may have already thought of this, but how about snapping a photograph of each dress BEFORE the acid-free paper wrap and then the box -- attach the photo to the outside of the box and you never have to wonder what is inside -- or open the box to check! 🙂

I just love the journey story with these dresses! what a fun find ! I love them all especially the 18th century gowns. the one you mentioned that's your favorite, I don't know why, probably because of the color theme but it makes me think Christmas vibes probably because of the reds and greens. I did see bits of blue but the red and green stands out to me a lot.

I can't believe that you have never explored all the old drawers. I would love to go through all the chests, bureaus. My mother grew up in southern Wisconsin and she taught school in Elmhurst. When she passed away in 2017, I recieved all her treasures. I love gowing through everything. I just wish she was still here to answer my many questions. 🙂🇨🇦

I understand the touching of things, I honestly do but there has to be a fine line somewhere. I can’t imagine finding an old piece of a bug & being so concerned about a wing might fall off. I know that probably sounds absurd but it’s so many things that will never be used nor viewed ever again. Like walking on egg shells all the time.
