Preservation Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula (PNNMP) will sponsor an illustrated talk, “Restoration of an 18th Century Lee Family Waistcoat.” The talk is set for 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, in Wellford Hall at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 5987 Richmond Road, Warsaw.
Stratford Hall’s Curator of Exhibits and Design Amy Connolly will speak on the conservation of a circa 1790 silk waistcoat owned by Thomas Lee Shippen (1765-1798).
The project to conserve the light green silk waistcoat trimmed in blue and yellow, with working pockets and a deep stand-up collar, received support from the PNNMP competitive grants program in 2021. With that support and a gift from a PNNMP board member, the entire restoration of this beautiful and historically significant garment was completed for folks in the Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula and beyond to enjoy.
