Schooley's Mountain was home to the famous chalybeate spring, becoming a health resort and summer retreat for the wealthy and famous of New York City and Philadelphia. Hotels and boarding houses at the springs accommodated hundreds of guests, including Joseph Bonaparte, older brother of Napoleon and one time King of Naples and Sicily and later of Spain, George Washington, Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, Theodore Roosevelt, the Astors, Vanderbilts, Ulysses S. Grant and President Benjamin Harrison. Drawn to the area by the presence of a health-giving spring known to the Native Americans, folks came to the springs to be seen and to see the wealthy and influential while escaping the heat and grime of the city in summer. Feasting on Schooley's Mountain mutton and fresh vegetables, dancing to the hotel orchestra, strolling to the mineral spring or enjoying a game of quoits, life was good.

American Heroes in Bronze: The Artwork of James E. Kelly
On Sunday at 4:30 pm, Macculloch Hall Historical Museum welcomes author and historian William B. Styple for a Father's Day presentation about artist James E. Kelly. Shortly after the Civil War Irish-American sculptor James Edward Kelly (1855-1933) made bronze portraits of over 40 Union Army generals. While the heroes of the war sat for Kelly, the artist interviewed them with intimate questions about the high points of their military careers, and the minute details of their notable battles. During Kelly's series of interviews he spent time with those who personally knew Abraham Lincoln. Kelly recorded over 60 eyewitness accounts, a never-before-published oral history of the 16th President, which Kelly carefully preserved in his notebooks; detailing Lincoln's physical appearance, personality, and qualities as a statesman during a dark time of national crisis. Mr. Styple will be discussing Kelly's lifetime effort to depict Lincoln accurately "as the embodiment of the spirit of the time as well as the men whom he led in triumph."
Styple's program will be presented in the main gallery where vivid examples of the antique Oriental rug collection are currently being showcased, complemented by textbook examples of fine porcelain, silver, glass and furniture collected by Museum founder, W. Parsons Todd. This exhibit also includes two bronzes from the Museum collection, "Saving the Colors", by Henry Merwin Shrady 1899 and "Dancing Nymphs" by Brenda Putnam c. 1919, the only non-military bronze in the collection. The "A Fine Collection: Treasures from the Vault" exhibit has a perimeter layout which leaves the center of the room open for a series of speakers and musical programming taking place in conjunction with the exhibit. Styple's June presentation is the last in the series.
