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

Melodeon
Description
An account of the resource
It was copyrighted 1862 by George A Prince & Co. Buffalo, N.Y. Rosewood. Small keyboard organ that produces sounds by drawing air through metal reeds by means of a bellow operated by pedals. The melodeon at Cherry Hill has two pedals and two bellows, not all melodeons had a second bellows. The right pedal pumps the bellows and the left serves as a swell pedal. Usually both pedals were pumped at the same time. Melodeons were most popular from 1850-1865. A lap melodeon (pumped by the elbow) was mad in the 1830's. The piano sized melodeon was rare in 1840.
