Visitors to the Barnes galleries encounter a puzzling idiosyncrasy: paintings by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso shown next to Pennsylvania German calligraphy, metalwork, and furniture. Why juxtapose “rustic” artifacts of the early Pennsylvania hinterland with masterpieces of the Parisian avant-garde? In this four-session online course, we’ll puzzle through the curious case of Dr. Albert C. Barnes’s important but often overlooked collection of Pennsylvania German material culture, including treasures from Ker-Feal, his former country estate.

In 1856, a local woman hurried to the scene of a terrible train crash near her Pennsylvania home. She spent hours caring for the injured, and people never forgot what she did. A railroad later named its station after her. Then the whole town took her name too. I love that a community chose to honor kindness instead of a general or a rich landowner.

1. The Farm Show has roots in Pennsylvania’s earliest agricultural fairs. William Penn organized the Philadelphia Fair in 1686. Agricultural exhibitions eventually spread throughout Pennsylvania, and the first statewide Farm Show was held in Harrisburg in 1917. The event was once known as the Pennsylvania Corn, Fruit, Vegetable, Dairy Products, and Wool Show.
A chest beneath one altar holds 84 relics of saints and martyrs, including Saint Patrick. That detail alone made me stop scrolling. Construction began in 1875, and the cathedral was dedicated in 1893. The bishop behind it refused to build unless the money was already in hand, so the walls rose slowly, stone by red stone.
