From Morning to Night: Domestic Service in the Gilded Age
Step through the main doors of Goodwood and into the typical lives of domestic servants and staff – the butler, cook, housemaid, laundress, lady’s maid, chauffeur and others – who maintained similar mansions throughout the South. Lauded by the National Endowment for the Humanities as a project that will "have a significant impact on house museums throughout the nation," Maymont's traveling exhibit will introduce the people of today to the people of the past.

First Friday Lecture Series
Saturday, October 2, 2009
Herman Holley and Louise Divine are stewards of the land and creators of community. Since 1999 at Turkey Hill Farm, their 89-acre spread located halfway between Tallahassee and Monticello, they plant, nurture, harvest and share Certified Naturally Grown vegetables and fruits for area farmers’ markets and members of Turkey Hill’s small CSA.
At Turkey Hill, Herman and Louise also cultivate a lifestyle that places them in partnership with the earth.
They serve as the nexus of the area’s green community, supporting and sustaining a network of small farmers and educating those hungry to learn how to work and replenish the soil to bring forth good, healthy food. Perhaps the greatest community service Herman and Louise provide is sharing the joy they find in farming.
