The Turmoil of Transition: The mid-nineteenth century at Cliveden
Enter Cliveden as it was in the mid-nineteenth century - a household in turmoil and mourning over the death of husband and father, Benjamin Chew, Jr. This exhibit explores mourning practices, household dynamics, substance abuse and violence, exacerbated by societal shifts of the mid-19th century and still relevant today.
