The pianoforte in the Travellers Rest collection w The pianoforte in the Travellers Rest collection was built in 1821 by John Geib and Sons, a firm in New York City. The case is primarily made of mahogany with rosewood trim and walnut and maple banding and is attributed to cabinetmaker, Duncan Phyfe. It has 68 notes compared to 88 keys found on a modern piano. Oral family tradition indicates Anne and Elizabeth Overton, daughters of John and Mary, played the piano. We are featuring the pianoforte as part of our virtual holiday concert on December 13th. It really is something special to hear it played by our friend Kenneth Brewer. You can access the concert with a donation at bit.ly/TRvirtual3 #historictravellersrest #holidayconcert2020 #historyathome

After John and Mary married in 1820, the Overton f After John and Mary married in 1820, the Overton family continued to grow and the brick ell addition to the original clapboard house was begun. The new addition’s double-door entry hall would serve as the new entrance to the home. The use of a floorcloth, made of canvas then painted and lacquered, would have been a very practical way to protect the hardwood floors from dirt and mud tracked in by visitors. The checkerboard pattern, such as the one seen at Travellers Rest, was prevalent in the early 1800s and today protects the 200 year old original ash floor.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Ben Crim, Historic Travellers Rest ⁠ ⁠ #historictravellersrest #historichousemuseum
