The year 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of Governor John N. Dalton’s entry into office as the 63rd Governor of Virginia. A major part of how Virginians learned about Dalton was through the cookbooks his wife, Eddy Dalton, produced to share recipes and information about what her husband could do for Virginia. We are honoring this dual legacy with the reprinting of the 1977 promotional cookbook, “Our Favorite Recipes.”
Join Edwina (Eddy) Dalton Phillips and her children at the Glencoe Mansion for the release of the Anniversary Edition of “Our Favorite Recipes.” We will sample recipes from the 1977 cookbook and look back as the Dalton family shares stories of the development of the cookbook and their memories of Governor Dalton.
“All Dressed in White” will take visitors through four major time periods in the development of the American wedding: Victorian Period of the 1840s-1890s, New Century of the 1910s-1920s, Boom Years of the 1940s-1960s and New America of the 1970s-1990s. Across these times periods, visitors will learn how the wedding ceremony emerged as an American custom among the wealthy and how it transformed into a rite of which all Americans can now partake.
“All Dressed in White” is made possible by Ann Turner of Alter Plus, Cook’s Formals, Nesselrod Bed and Breaskfast, Rockwood Manor, Christian Travel, Ponnie’s Boutique and Gifts, and Todd’s Jewelry.
On display May 11 through June 30.
