The parlor of Cherry Hill
Description
An account of the resource
Right off the downstairs hallway is the parlor. In the 1850s the parlor was a very formal room, usually reserved for the great events of life - weddings, christenings and funerals. The parlor was generally off limits to children, except for special occasions. The parlor was also the room where company was formally entertained. Mid-19th century entertainment might mean conversation, parlor games, music, singing or dancing.
The furnshings in Cherry Hill are not original to the house but are of the mid-19th century period. Some of the furniture in the parlor is from the DAR collection. The setting reflects a middle to upper-middle class lifestyle. While not as extravagant as a plantation home, the house certainly reflects the lifestyle of a family with a profitable farming enterprise. The parlor was a place to display more elaborate, expensive pieces revealing one's tastes and refinement. In the 1850s this could mean a fine whale oil lamp, fancy candlesticks or a melodiane

The parlor of Cherry Hill
Description
An account of the resource
Right off the downstairs hallway is the parlor. In the 1850s the parlor was a very formal room, usually reserved for the great events of life - weddings, christenings and funerals. The parlor was generally off limits to children, except for special occasions. The parlor was also the room where company was formally entertained. Mid-19th century entertainment might mean conversation, parlor games, music, singing or dancing.
The furnshings in Cherry Hill are not original to the house but are of the mid-19th century period. Some of the furniture in the parlor is from the DAR collection. The setting reflects a middle to upper-middle class lifestyle. While not as extravagant as a plantation home, the house certainly reflects the lifestyle of a family with a profitable farming enterprise. The parlor was a place to display more elaborate, expensive pieces revealing one's tastes and refinement. In the 1850s this could mean a fine whale oil lamp, fancy candlesticks or a melodiane
