Have you ever wondered about 18th Century hygiene practices? Ian Mumton, Historic Site Assistant at Schuyler Mansion, explores the topic “Coping with Life’s Necessaries” on Wednesday October 12, at 6:30 p.m. as part of the Bethlehem Historical Association’s Fall Lecture Series.
The Schuyler family enjoyed many luxuries as part of their refined lifestyle, but what might their hygiene practices have looked like? How did their practices differ from or align with those of other residents of 18th century Albany? Learn more about the changing practices of this aristocratic Dutch colonial family and their household with Schuyler Mansion’s “Coping with Life’s Necessaries” program!
