SUMMARY:America in Transition: The Gilded Age Years
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated talk by Trudy Coxe\, CEO & Executive Director of the Preservation Society of Newport County will cast light on an underappreciated but incredibly lively period in America that bridged the late 19th to the early 20th century.\nThe expansion of industry and transportation – and the lack of an income tax – gave rise to a new wealthy class of people with names like Vanderbilt\, Morgan\, Ford\, Carnegie and Rockefeller. Massive fortunes were made very quickly and spent on lavish lifestyles. More than opulent mansions\, top hat-wearing robber barons and mustachioed presidents\, the gilded age was a transformative time that ushered in modern America. Learn everything you need to know about this important period of American history. \nTime: Sunday\, August 6\, 2023 @ 4:00 – 5:00 P.M.\nPlace: In-person at the Museum\, 2nd Floor and virtual via zoom\nNOTE: Some in-person talks end up being over subscribed\, sign up in advance recommended for people attending in person. Please call 631-788-7239 or email fimuseum@fishersisland.net to reserve a seat.
