SUMMARY:A Family of Artists: Alice\, Charles\, and Owen Stephens
DESCRIPTION:“A Family of Artists: Alice\, Charles\, and Owen Stephens”\nIn 1904 Charles and Alice Stephens\, both successful artists\, moved to Rose Valley.  Used to living in the intimacy of the city\, the move to the wilds of suburban Philadelphia was a courageous step to “give [their] son the chance for an out-of-door life near his school”.  Their presence in and philosophical recognition of this Arts & Crafts community lent a certain eminence to the experiment\, so others might be encouraged to become neighbors.  So\, who were the Stephens family and what is their legacy?  Sue Keilbaugh\, President of the Rose Valley Museum\, will try to answer that question. \nSunday\, March 23\, 2025\, 4pm\n$20 per person ($15 members) \nNote location: Grace Rotzel Center at The School in Rose Valley. \nRegister Now!\nReservations:\nCall 484-444-2961 (leave a message)\nEmail: programs@rosevalleymuseum.org\nPayment can be made online or at the door.

SUMMARY:Will Price - Grasping the Architectural Possibilities of the New Life
DESCRIPTION:“Will Price”\nGrasping the Possibilities of the New Life\nJoin Bruce Laverty\, adjunct professor\, Pennoni Honors College and the Westphal College of Media Arts and Design\, Drexel University. \nIn 1930\, architect George Howe\, lamented that “America has always been the land of the lone prophet\, without much but posthumous honor in their own country.” He believed the first American architects to fully comprehend the “spiritual consequences” of their work were Frank Lloyd Wright\, Louis Sullivan and Will Price. Wright and Sullivan emerged from the obscurity that Howe decried\, but not Price.  Laverty will examine the pivotal role that Rose Valley’s Will Price played in American art\, architecture\, and self-identity. He will review recent successful efforts to shine a light on this “lone prophet” and discuss what Price can teach us today. \nSunday\, April 27\, 2025\, 4pm\n$20 per person ($15 members) \nNote location: Grace Rotzel Center at The School in Rose Valley. \nRegister Now!\nReservations:\nCall 484-444-2961 (leave a message)\nEmail: programs@rosevalleymuseum.org\nPayment can be made online or at the door.

SUMMARY:Delco Gives Day - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Delco Gives Day – 2025\nRose Valley Museum\n\nThis year\, help us to replace the beloved Great Minquas Path Monument that was stolen!\nDonate starting at 7pm on Thursday\, May 8th and ending on Friday\, May 9th at 7pm. \nIn 1926\, led by Charles Stephens\, Rose Valley resident and Native American expert\, and the Pennsylvania Historical Commission\, the community installed a bronze statue of a beaver by sculptor Albert Laessle\, and a bronze plaque\, designed by Charles Stephens\, to commemorate the native Americans who trekked from the Susquehanna through Rose Valley and the Great Minquas Path they traveled on. The monument stood until in 2021 when the beaver and plaque were pried off their stone base\, probably to be melted down. They have never been found. \nRose Valley Museum & Historical Society\, along with others in the community\, are raising funds to commission a reproduction of the statue and plaque\, based on historical plans.  We hope to install them at the original location using the original stone pillar and with appropriate security precautions to prevent future theft.  Our goal is to dedicate the new monument in September 2026\, exactly 100 years after the original dedication. Your donation will help us achieve that goal! \nA festive afternoon and evening will close out the event on Friday at Rose Tree Park from 4:30 to 7:30pm where there will be food trucks\, music\, the Philly Phanatic and more! Join the fun! \nDonations at the site will only be taken from 7:00 pm on May 8th to 7:00 pm on May 9th.  You can donate by check\, or on our web site before that; just be sure to indicate that your donation is targeted for the Delco Gives drive.  The “Make a Contribution” button is at the bottom of our homepage or at the left top of the Membership page.  Check out our page at the DelcoGives.Org site for the full story of the Great Minquas Path marker. \n\n

SUMMARY:Book Project
DESCRIPTION:“Rose Valley Arts & Crafts  1901-1916” – Book Project\nThe Museum is writing a comprehensive book looking at the achievements of the utopian experiment of Rose Valley in its early years.\n  \nUntil now Rose Valley’s history has relied on Volume 1 of “A History of Rose Valley” compiled in 1973 by local inhabitants and “A Poor Sort of Heaven A Good Sort of Earth” by William Ayres and Ann Barton Brown for the Brandywine River Museum in 1983. Both publications are excellent sources\, but need updating with attention to a broader scope\, and an abundance of photographs of the work the community produced. \nThe book will contain approximately 300 pages\, 250 images\, 9 chapters and a bibliography of prominent individuals. It will cover architecture\, furniture\, pottery\, tiles\, illustration\, printing\, photography and the living arts. The hope is to have the hard bound edition available by July 2026\, in order to be available at the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Arts & Crafts Exhibit\, with a paperback edition ready by Christmas 2026. The Museum currently has grants from the Decorative Arts Trust and the Weyth Foundation for American Art totaling $58\,000. we need an extra $42\,000. \nPlease help the “Artsman”\, pictured here\, carve out a beautiful Arts & Crafts book that really tells the story of this unique community in words and pictures. \nDonate Now!\nDonations can be made online: Click here to donate.\nBy mail: Check made out to RVMHS addressed to Rose Valley Museum\, 41 Rose Valley Road\, Rose Valley\, PA 19063; please note on check “Book Project”. \n

SUMMARY:Designing for the Dead
DESCRIPTION:“Designing for the Dead”\nArt & Architecture in Philadelphia Cemeteries\nJoin Thomas H. Keels\, Author\, Historian\, Lecturer for a talk followed by a small reception. The birth of the rural cemetery in Philadelphia provided local architects and artists with a novel outdoor laboratory where they could exhibit their works\, and experiment with new styles. Such noted architects and artists as John Notman\, William Strickland\, Alexander Milne Calder\, Frank Furness\, Horace Trumbauer\, and Paul Philippe Cret all created designs for cemetery gatehouses and individual monuments. In some cases\, they became “cradle-to-grave” designers for the city’s elite. The talk will discuss Quaker contributions to Philadelphia funerary heritage\, including the role of Eli Kirk Price in establishing the Woodlands\, one of the city’s earliest rural cemeteries. \nSunday\, November 23\, 2025\, 4pm\n$20 per person ($15 members) \nNote location: Grace Rotzel Center at The School in Rose Valley. \nRegister Now!\nReservations:\nCall 484-444-2961 (leave a message)\nEmail: programs@rosevalleymuseum.org\nPayment can be made online or at the door.
