Alice Longfellow’s 1913 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost
Join us as we explore the origins of one of the museum’s most celebrated collection pieces, Alice Longfellow’s 1913 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. Beginning in the summer of 1913, recently discovered documents and research have revealed an epic journey of adventure, discovery, and war. Toby Stinson will lead a discussion on how Alice Longfellow and her Rolls Royce were caught in the middle of a changing world- and survived!
