Our last video in our 12 Ways at Cliveden: Outside In series highlights our education and research work in 2021. Our Cliveden Conversation series continued virtually this year. In April, we held a joint virtual program with Homewood Museum entitled, ‘A Tale of Two Houses: Cliveden & Homewood,’ which explored the shared, complicated history of the properties and further explored the story of Charity Castle and Harriet Chew Carroll, two women separated by social status yet their lives at Homewood and the abuse they both experience from Charles Carroll Jr. bound their lives together closely. We invited the public to spend time on Cliveden’s grounds for Juneteenth and July 4^th, and we engaged in deeper research into the Chew family’s involvement in Mid-Atlantic enslavement for a new project entitled, Illuminating Hidden Lives: Black Stories of the Mid-Atlantic Region. We will share our research in 2022 in a joint program with the African American Genealogical Society.

Today is the last day to contribute towards Cliveden’s end of year appeal!
