Dinning Room
Description
An account of the resource
The dining room was the center of home life in the mid-19th century. Here the family gathered three times a day for meals. In this room parents and children could eat, talk, and play games in a relaxed atmosphere of informality. The family grew most of the food served in this room. While at Cherry Hill, the Blaisdells (1857-68) grew a variety of crops, fruits and vegetables. In addition, they raised chickens for personal consumption and to sell at the market in Washington, D.C. Items they would have purchased at the town general store included salt, sugar, spices, coffee, tea, and flour. Among the more unusual items purchased by William H. Harvey, the first owner of Cherry Hill (1844-1846), were raisins, a coconut, and a barrel of herring.
The "ponderous sideboard" was essential to a well furnished dining room of the mid-19th century. The family stored their silver and table linens in the sideboard. Younger members of the family were more interested in the large cookie tin often kept in the sideboard.
Note the woodwork in the room. Mantels in farmhouses were usually made of wood and painted. It was unusual to have a cupboard built into the room.
The wallpaper in this room is a documented reproduction of a pattern found in General Moore's home in Winchester, Virginia in 1861. Remnants of this wallpaper were found during the restoration of the Moore house. During the Civil War, General Stonewall Jackson for a time had his headquarters in the Moore home. In a letter to his wife Jackson described the wallpaper as follows, "The walls are papered with elegant gilt paper. I don't remember to have ever seen more beautiful papering ... If I only had my little woman here, the room would be set off."
