Description

A Talk about The Merchant's House Museum The Merchant’s House Museum on East 4th St. in Manhattan, rated in the top 3% of NYC sites to visit, is a unique survivor of the antebellum city. The house is intact, featuring the possessions of the Treadwell family, who for nearly 100 years occupied it and were determined to keep their home “exactly as Papa wanted it.” Anthony Bellov, acclaimed for his in-depth knowledge of the house and its collections, explores the Museum in a way no casual visitor ever experiences. He’ll open doors and drawers and explore overlooked features that tell us much about the house, the era, the residents and the servants who made it all possible.
