SUMMARY:Member Event: Backstairs Lives Tour
DESCRIPTION:Save the date!\nTours at Victoria Mansion have always included the Morses and the Libbys\, but there was another group who also lived here – their domestic servants. For many years\, we knew only minimal information about them. Recently\, however\, research through the Backstairs Lives Initiative has led to some interesting discoveries about the people who worked for these two families. \nMembers are invited to join us for a special opportunity to hear about the Mansion as a workplace\, not just a home. Who were the people who worked here? Where did they come from? Where did they work and where did they live? This tour will include spaces not usually on public view. \nLight refreshments will be served for guests at this event. Due to limited capacity in the featured spaces\, RSVPs are required. Members – keep an eye on your email inboxes for RSVP details. \nWant to join as a Member\, or need to renew? Visit our Membership page or give us a call at (207) 772-4841 ext.101. \nPictured in header image: Nora Steed; Hannah Shine (cook for Libby family); Katie Steed (maid for Libby family)\, ca.1913.

SUMMARY:Reconstruction’s Restless Spirits: New Orleans Séances\,  Afro-Creole Mediums\, and the Battle for Equality
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of the Civil War\, Americans turned to the spirit world to make sense of staggering mortal losses and uncertain futures. In New Orleans\, Afro-Creole mediums gathered around séance tables to commune with the dead. Voices of fallen soldiers\, abolitionists\, and Reconstruction martyrs spoke of liberty\, equality\, and justice—offering both comfort and a radical vision of a new society. Drawing on the séance registers of a group of Afro-Creole spiritualists\, this talk uncovers the world of nineteenth-century spiritualism\, where ghostly messages became tools in the struggle for racial justice and a reminder that the fight for freedom did not end with death. \nLecture by Dr. Ashley Towle\, Associate Professor of History and Associate Dean of the College of Arts\, Humanities\, and Social Sciences at the University of Southern Maine. Her research and teaching interests include nineteenth-century United States history\, the history of enslavement and emancipation\, and the history of gender and sexuality. She is the author of African Americans\, Death\, and the New Birth of Freedom: Dying Free during the Civil War and Reconstruction\, and co-editor of Grave History: Death\, Race\, and Gender in Southern Cemeteries. \nThis event will be held at Wishcamper 133 on the USM Portland campus.  Paid parking is available at the USM garage nearby.  \nTickets: $20 for members and $25 for general public

SUMMARY:The Spiritualist’s Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:Following the mass death brought on by the Civil War\, U.S. citizens were desperate for evidence of a spirit world to glimpse or communicate with lost loved ones. With the advent of technologies like the phonograph and photography\, as well as the increasing availability of electricity throughout the country\, many alleged Spiritualists\, occultists\, and mediums began to give grieving (and simply curious) people hope. But how did they do it?  Join us for an evening tour\, using the Mansion as a backdrop\, for tales of the Victorian-era phenomenon of Spiritualism and the heavy influence of death and mourning on Victorian society. Following the tour with be a brief talk and demonstration on the special effects behind the seances that fooled and inspired the public for decades.  \nLed by Brittany Cook\, independent museum professional. \nThere will be two tours one held at 6pm and the other at 7:30pm. When purchasing tickets please select a specific time. \nThis event will be held at Victoria Mansion. \nTickets are $20 for members and $25 for general public.

SUMMARY:Cabinets of Curiosities: Victorian Wonders of the Natural World
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes natural wonders are just as intriguing as supernatural ones. Learn about “Cabinets of Curiosities\,” which date back to the 1500s and were the origins of the modern natural history museum. Cabinets of Curiosities were early ways to organize and display objects of wonder\, and sparked eclectic Victorian hobbies of collecting\, displaying\, and preserving the world around them. Museums opening in this time period drew large crowds of people hoping to be thrilled and educated by the larger natural and cultural world. This talk is given by Lyndell M. Bade\, Director of the L.C. Bates Museum of Natural History and Culture\, Maine’s own Cabinet of Curiosities.  \nThis lecture will be held at Victoria Mansion. \nTickets are $20 for members\, and $25 for general public.

SUMMARY:Unwilling Architects Initiative Art Unveiling
DESCRIPTION:Since 2021\, Victoria Mansion has been researching and sharing the stories of the individuals enslaved by the Morses in New Orleans\, and how their unpaid labor provided the funds to build this beautiful summer home. Thanks to a generous grant from Coffee by Design’s Rebel Blend Fund\, Victoria Mansion has been working with artist Carl Joe Williams to produce a piece of art to bring the stories of the Unwilling Architects Initiative to life. \nWe would like to thank Indigo Arts Alliance\, our Artist Selection Partners\, for their support and guidance throughout the process. We are excited to have this work on display\, giving us a tangible reminder of the role these individuals played in the Mansion’s history. \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, October 29th as we share this work for the first time and hear from the artist about his process. This event is free\, but space is limited. Light food and beverages will be provided. \nFor more information on Carl Joe Williams\, visit his website. \n
