The Boltons of Pelham Priory: A Cultural Legacy from England to America

This exhibition celebrates the achievements of the Reverend Robert (1788-1857) and Anne Jay (1793-1859) Bolton and their children, a fascinating and vibrant Anglo-American family whose life on two continents emphasized religious, intellectual, and artistic pursuits in a warm and lively family setting. This is the first exhibition to study the impressive legacy left by this family in religion, education, and the arts. A lecture series accompanies the exhibition and provides an overview of the Boltons’ life and contributions to American society. Visit bpmm.org for details. Free with admission
