Stenton’s number-one collecting priority is objects with a history of ownership in the Logan family. In 1928, The Colonial Dames officially voted “to refurnish the house as far as possible with Logan things,” which has remained a guiding principle and is part of what gives Stenton its viscerally authentic feeling. In January, Stenton purchased a Philip Syng silver cann that Isaac Norris gave to James Logan.

Please join Stenton Curator Laura Keim LIVE on Facebook to consider the silver objects that were and are stored and exhibited in the parlor buffet including the newly acquired Norris-Logan cann and Sarah Logan’s imported English silver purchased for her marriage to Thomas Fisher.
