SUMMARY:Photographs of the Construction of Anderson House
DESCRIPTION:Deputy Director and Curator Emily Schulz Parsons presents photographs of the construction of Anderson House. When the construction of Anderson House was completed in 1905\, the mansion was celebrated for its elegant design and expert craftsmanship. Anderson House was one of the largest and most lavish private homes built during the first decade of the twentieth century in Dupont Circle—the most fashionable neighborhood in Washington\, D.C.\, at the time. The mansion was also a technological achievement\, with a steel frame and modern conveniences on the interior including a central heat system and electricity. With forty-five thousand square feet over five floors\, it took three years to build the mansion\, along with its walled garden and three-story carriage house and stable. Boston-based architects Arthur Little and Herbert Browne designed this urban estate and relied upon the firm Connery & Wentworth to oversee construction. Dozens of photographs survive in the library collections documenting the construction of Anderson House\, revealing the materials and techniques used to build the structures\, faces of the workmen who raised the buildings\, and some of the surrounding neighborhood as it appeared in the early twentieth century. Most of the photographs were taken by Henry F. Withey\, a draftsman with Little and Browne who represented the architects on site and sent weekly progress photographs back to Boston.

SUMMARY:Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical is Restaging America's Past
DESCRIPTION:Hamilton\, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning musical\, has become so popular that it is being used to teach U.S. history in classrooms across the country. But just how historically accurate is Hamilton? And how is the show itself making history? Join four historians for a discussion of the Hamilton phenomenon and what it means for our understanding of America’s past. \nThe talk will last about one hour\, followed by a book signing and refreshments. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

SUMMARY:Washington and Hamilton: The Great Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Knott\, professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College\, examines the most important collaboration in American history—the unlikely alliance between a wealthy Virginia planter and a brash immigrant from the Caribbean who went on to establish a “new order for the ages.” George Washington and Alexander Hamilton fought for the better part of twenty-five years to secure the American experiment in the face of bitter partisan opposition at home and determined enemies abroad. What makes Washington and Hamilton unique from other founding collaborations is that their bond was forged in the crucible of the Revolutionary War. This collaboration was vital to winning that war\, adopting the Constitution\, and creating the institutions necessary to secure liberty at home and respect abroad. \nThe unlikely partnership of George Washington and Alexander Hamilton\, and the brief Federalist moment they presided over\, allowed the United States to build the institutions that launched the nation on a path to becoming a superpower. If George Washington was the “indispensable man” of the American founding\, then Washington and Hamilton’s collaboration was the “indispensable alliance” that determined the outcome of the creation of the United States of America. \nThe lecture will last 45 minutes with time afterwards for questions.

SUMMARY:"Brown Bess" British Long-land Musket
DESCRIPTION:British military historian and armaments specialist Paul Newman presents a “Brown Bess” British long-land pattern musket of 1756 and discusses why it was the mainstay firearm of the British infantry for over 120 years. The 1756 (Type 1) Long-Land pattern musket held by the Society of the Cincinnati museum collections is a particularly intriguing example owing to its regimental markings and provenance. The musket is marked to the 7th\, or Royal Regiment of Fusiliers\, and the story passed down with the firearm is that it was recovered by the donor’s ancestor in the act of taking a Hessian soldier prisoner during the New Haven Connecticut raid\, July 5\, 1779. \nThe presentation will last approximately 30 minutes with time afterwards for up-close viewing of the musket.
