However, if you can’t make it in person you can buy a ticket (3 cups of coffee) for a virtual hour long tour with me, and support this ongoing project over at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmontagu A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age. Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large. Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles. The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/juliejmontagu 🌟 Support the creation of "American Viscountess" and help us produce more extraordinary historic house episodes by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/americanviscountess!
