Hebron Resident, Kevin Tulimieri, 17th–19th Century Furnishings & Art Specialist at Liverant Antiques, will bring and speak about the large 1828 portraits of St. Peter’s rector and his wife, the Rev. and Mrs. George Champlin Shepard. The portraits were painted by Reuben Rowley, a cousin of Hebron’s many early Rowleys.

Tulimieri will also talk about Federal furnishings built by Hebron Cabinetmakers, William Pitt Gilbert and John Graves. The lathe and workbench used by these craftsmen, along with pieces of their furniture, can be admired in Old Town Hall.
