LECTURE AT LINDEN PLACE: FOUR EAGLES
Thursday, September 12, 7:00 PM
Join us to review the history, legends, and recent discoveries behind ‘The John Howe House’, or ‘The House with the Four Eagles’ as it was called for decades, during a discussion in the Linden Place Ballroom. Last year, the most recent 2-year restoration of the four eagles that grace the four corners of this Federal-style home concluded. Bristol has long appreciated these symbols of national pride and strength; however, they have not always adorned the corner posts of the 1808 Federal Home balustrade. Are they significant? Are they carved wood, replicas, or simple ornaments? Come and find out! Admission is $5, free for Linden Place members.
