Georgia has always been an important part of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts.
In May 2009 MESDA more than doubled its collection of Georgia-made decorative arts. Mr. Ackermann’s lecture is based on MESDA’s newest exhibit A Land of Liberty and Plenty: Georgia Decorative Arts, 1733-1860. From the first English footsteps along the Savannah River in 1733 to the eve of Civil War, this talk will look at the history of Georgia as seen through the objects made by its diverse craftsmen and used by its diverse peoples.
Mr. Ackermann is associate curator of the MESDA and Old Salem Toy Museum Collections.
He is a graduate of the College of William and Mary and
the University of Virginia. Prior to joining the staff at MESDA, he
was the Tiffany & Co. Foundation Curatorial Intern in American
Decorative Arts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

American Roots: The Creation and Preservation of American Style
Steve Sherwood has been restoring, collecting, selling, and teaching about antiques since 1995. Steve has lectured at the Georgia Historical Society and the Greenville Museum of Art, and his lecture topics include antique styles and their development, proper antique restoration methods, and appreciation of antiques. He has also taught restoration at Georgia State College in Macon, GA. In his talk “American Roots,” Steve will focus on the historical context in which antiques were made as a door to understanding their design and manufacture. How to preserve antiques, determine value, avoid hidden problems when purchasing, and picking the proper restorer will also be discussed.
