In-person at the Lloyd Library and Museum
From 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
2023 Curtis Gates Lloyd Fellow, Elizabeth Yuko will focus on the history and evolution of the bedroom and sick room in American homes; specifically, how their presence, layout, decor, fixtures, furnishings, and upkeep promote rest, sleep, and health for not only the occupant(s) of the room, but the rest of the household as well. She will draw heavily from primary sources from the Lloyd’s Eclectic Medical Collection as well as works discussing hygiene, sanitation, and domesticity from the late 1800s.
