“Family History: Then and now”, a Resident Art Project

  by Eleanor Lippman

On Friday, July 1, 2022, our “Family History” Resident Art Show went up on the walls of the Sunrise Room. Our fun project challenged residents to check their old shoe boxes filled with family photos and come up with a story. And, what an amazing response we had!

Meet the parents, grandparents and maybe even great grandparents of our RVM family with wonderful stories to tell.

A log cabin lawyer’s office, penny farthing bicycles, military swords, documents signed by Abraham Lincoln, delivery vehicles starting with horse drawn carts advancing to modern trucks, wedding gowns through the years, generations of beautiful women. Handsome men.

It’s all here. America at its best. Manor residents at their best with their amazing family stories.

The Family History show will be in the Sunrise Room in the Terrace during the months of July and August and will then move to the Manor Auditorium for an additional two months.  Stay tuned for the Wine and Cheese Reception announcement tentatively scheduled for late July.
