Maitland’s Legacies: Creativity and Innovation highlights the stories of the visionary individuals and families whose legacies unite all of the Art & History Museums - Maitland. These stories extend beyond local geography and mirror many American communities. The important individuals and families that made up these legacies include André Smith, the Waterhouse family, the Galloway family, the Dommerich family, the Hill family, and others.
What united these people that founded our institutions? These pioneers were innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial. They came to this unfamiliar place and created opportunities for themselves and for others. Drawn from a variety of social classes, they built both culture and community.
Using archival photographs, artifacts, and documents, the exhibition will explore these stories as they relate to the economic, technological, and social aspects of the American experience.
