Historic New England Fellow Eleanor Martinez Proctor, will tell us about the lives of estate workers during the Gilded Age at Ventfort Hall. A tea will be served after the presentation. She will discuss the diverse staff of the Eustis Estate, a Gilded Age mansion in Milton, MA. Her research revealed stories of the staff and their families, both at the estate and beyond, that reflect many fascinating aspects of the Progressive era. Reservations are strongly encouraged as seats are limited. Walk-ins accommodated as space allows.
