Hello! Welcome to my Blog! Here I will be documenting my time working for the Maitland Art and History museum.

In this the final blog post of my summer internship, I felt it was pertinent to use as a featured image a quote that has always stuck with me. “History is not was, it is”. What happened in the past is not simply confined to the past, what we live in now is simply its…

This week was the final week of my California vacation! The picture I’ve attached is at the Griffith Observatory, by far one of my favorite places to visit. We just touched down last night, and we got in a whole ton of trips to LA and back throughout our final week in the state. We…

This week I’m still in California, it’s been pretty non-stop here. I added a picture of Newport Beach for the featured image this week just to establish how gosh darn beautiful California really is. I’m so happy I’m able to go here this year after missing it last year. In terms of research it’s unfortunately…

This week is an interesting week because it’s the first week of my California vacation! The picture I’ve attached is one at my grandma’s house, which is where we will be staying for the next two weeks. We weren’t able to travel last year due to the pandemic, hopefully nothing gets in the way this…

This week for the featured image we have the local turtle of the museum! According to Katie this turtle has been living in the central pond for at least 2 years. You can see him swimming up and down the pond under the lily pads if you look close. It goes to show just how…

This week I’ve attached a picture of the Waterhouse from the side angle. This would be how people in the 1880s would more or less have seen the Waterhouse while walking around Lake Lily. I wonder if in it’s day the Waterhouse had a more defined road leading to and from the building. Nowadays most…

This in recognition of the midpoint of this internship journey I’m including a much better image of the lily pad pond that is the center of the entire museum complex. Not only is it in my opinion the most beautiful part of the complex, it is also where I like to sit at and think…

Hello everyone! This week I’ve attached yet another picture of the complex, this time near the room where I actually do most of my research. Right next to it is a walkway with a decorative arch that is nearly 100 years old. It is a fascinating experience working in a place where you are literally…

I’ve attached another image of the museum complex to this blog because I want to get across to everyone just how stunningly beautiful the place really is. At times it can honestly feel like some kind of fancy vacation or summer home in South Florida. Very calming. This week I met with Katie to discuss…

Hello everyone! I’ve attached the picture of the actual Waterhouse complex so that you can all see what it looks like from the outside. The knowledge that its well over a hundred years old gives what would normally be a homey place this stately feeling. You can see why people think it’s haunted, it certainly…
