Beginning as a six-room Greek Revival-style home, the Barnes Museum was built in 1836 for Amon and Sylvia Bradley and was lived in by the family for 136 years. The opulent seventeen-room homestead remains fully staged with the family's impressive collection of Victorian antiques and more than one thousand pressed-glass goblets. Author and museum curator Christina Volpe reveals their unique collection of Civil War letters, family diaries, photographs and other historic treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Volpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467158429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467158428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christina Volpe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489646203135,"sku":"9781467158428","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7406eb46-51cd-4e80-a523-8d9bef3d2564.jpg?v=1736954158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-barnes-museum-and-homestead-christina-volpe-9781467158428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
