Wiest Family Collection
- Description:
- This collection consists primarily of a scrapbook belonging to Theodosia Wiest Milkton, the daughter of state Supreme Court judge Howard Wiest and Cora Newman Wiest. The scrapbook contains portraits of Theodosia and her family and friends, class pictures from the Walnut Street school, pictures from the art school she attended on the east coast, newspaper clippings (mostly about Judge Wiest), school programs and memorabilia, and other bits of glued in ephemera. The Wiests built a large home with several outbuildings that they named "Shagbark" in Williamston. The collection also contains a few folders of loose snapshots of Shagbark, unidentified people, an unidentified brick row house perhaps in Baltimore, and dogs.
