Although domestic servants made everyday life in grand homes possible, their identities and roles within the household have long been hidden. Jennifer Pustz, New England museum historian, will reveal details about these servants’ lives during a lecture in one of those grand homes, Providence’s own Lippitt House.

Doors 6:30pm, Lecture 7pm.
