The site and the Friends of Mills at Staatsburgh were delighted and excited to celebrate this week, the successful conclusion of our project to create gorgeous, historically-accurate facsimile draperies for all eight of the mansion's Library windows, made in stunning patterned silk damask, with hand-crafted tie-backs and lovely decorative trims. 14 talented sewing volunteers contributed 417 hours, and 50,000 hand-stiches to the construction of these beautiful new draperies that restore the room to its historic grandeur! The site and Friends are very grateful to Parks & Trails New York for awarding funds for this very significant project! We also want to thank our members and all who donated and participated in events that raised funds for this project. Come see the finished product on a tour this fall! #staatsburghstatehistoricsite #staatsburg

Walking the property today it is so sad to see the damage done during last Thursday’s storm. So many historic trees are lost. We are very appreciative of our parks staff that have been working hard to make the areas safe and will do the work to remove the trees soon. If you walk the property please be safe. @nystateparks @nysdec #staatsburg #staatsburghstatehistoricsite

The seasons change and to make new arrangements on the hottest day of the year was a challenge! Fellow floral arranger Joe did the dining room! But they look lovely and the mansion is ready for fall! #staatsburg #staatsburghstatehistoricsite

Wine and books: what could be better?

The Friends of Mills at Staatsburgh will be hosting a book talk and signing with Phillip James Dodd, author of "An American Renaissance: Beaux-Arts Architecture in New York City" on September 10 at 2:00.

The Gilded Age, also referred to as the American Renaissance, is an era associated with unparalleled growth and cultural change. To flaunt their newly-acquired wealth, the newly-minted millionaires along New York City’s Fifth Avenue needed an architecture dripping in embellishment and historical reference fit for the era. Set among the splendor of Staatsburgh’s formal dining room, Dodd will discuss a selection of Beaux-Arts landmark as well as the patrons and architects that designed them, drawing in the influences on the development of the Millses’ own country mansion and the modern television adaptation of "The Gilded Age."

A wine reception and book-signing will follow the program; copies of "An American Renaissance" will be available for sale.
Reservations are required! Purchase your tickets today at: https://american-renaissance.eventbrite.com/ #staatsburg #staatsburghstatehistoricsite

Happy Labor Day - celebrating the American labor movement and the contribution of workers to the modern United States. Recently, Staatsburgh acquired our own piece of labor movement history - a historic 1935 photograph showing men and women picketing outside the Millses' NYC mansion!

But who were they? What were they protesting against? And what does this have to do with Oreos? In honor of #LaborDay, read our new blog post "Thuggery, Intimidation and General Foul Play: O.L. Mills v. Organized Labor" to find out: http://staatsburghstatehistoricsite.blogspot.com/2023/09/thuggery-intimidation-and-general-foul.html
