The Brontë Parsonage Museum is maintained by the Brontë Society in honour of the Brontë sisters – Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë. In 1820, Patrick Brontë was appointed as incumbent of Haworth, and arrived in the township with his Cornish-born wife, Maria, and their six children.

I was honored to be asked to guest curate the annual show at the Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society, Bellport: Summer, 1900. I've been time-traveling for the past few months, going through files of old photos, letters, newspaper articles and diaries from Bellport 1895-1915 putting together an exhibition on the style of this period from sailing to suffrage, picket fences and porches, and work of the artists and writers. I loved finding material on the suffrage movement and the leaders…

The Brontës were a 19th century literary family associated with Haworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The sisters, Charlotte (born 21 April 1816), Emily (born 30 July 1818), and Anne (born 17 January 1820), are well known as a trio of sibling poets and novelists.
