We post plenty of images of students participating in civics programs, but you rarely get to see our team leading the action. In the photos below, Gwyneth and Jackie are teaching the final Soil Stewards lesson at Countryside Elementary. Students in Gwyneth’s class reviewed facts about the compost bin they chose to use at their school, while Jackie’s class practiced sorting compostable and non-compostable items.
Meet Malorie Matos, Morven Park’s new Museum Educator! Students will see Malorie in the classroom and others will see her giving tours. She is currently shadowing other educators to learn our civics programs but will soon teach on her own! Welcome, Malorie!
#WeddingWednesday Tip: Consider the season when planning your bar. Spring and summer temperatures call for more white wine, gin, and vodka. Fall and winter temperatures, on the other hand, call for more red wine, bourbon, and scotch.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way; O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!” Christmas is over, but we’re still thinking about this catchy song, because our #MuseumMonday objects are sleighs and sleigh bells, located in the Winmill Carriage Museum... Check out the lightweight Trap Sleigh in the background of this video, which could be pulled by one horse, making it a low-maintenance and convenient winter vehicle. In our collection we've also got the traditional Albany Cutter, which became part of the popular portrayal of Santa Claus in the 19th century, as well as the Clamshell Sleigh, which could hold up to four people - all of whom would be able to stay warm due to the use of foot heaters! During rides, bells would be attached to the horses' harnesses as a way to signal to oncoming traffic. Our Collections Manager Gwyneth MacMurtrie demonstrates the beautiful sound that these bells make. It sounds like Christmas all over again!
#ThrowbackThursday! Since it's #MPFallHorseTrials week, we're throwing it back twelve years to 2004 to look at some Horse Trials photos from that year's event! See if you recognize any of these riders and obstacles...
