Wallace Nutting and the Invention of Old America 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM Nickels-Sortwell House Barn, Federal Street , Wiscasset

Portland Museum of Art Chief Curator Thomas Denenberg talks about this former minister, who played a significant role in shaping the twentieth-century consumer’s ideas about our colonial and revolutionary past. Nutting’s legacy, including romantically staged photographs, historic house museums, reproduction furniture, and numerous magazine articles, books, and even Christmas cards, permeates mainstream American design and historical stereotypes to this day. Sponsored by the Maine Humanities Council. Registration is required. Admission is free for Historic New England memebrs and $10 for nonmembers. Call 207-882-7169 or visit www.HistoricNewEngland.org to reserve a place.
