    Collections and Interpretation

     

    Stenton is best interpreted to James Logan's time period, and our current interpretive plan utilizes James Logan's inventories, taken after his death in 1752, to furnish the spaces. Our collection and interpretation also includes layers of the second generation (William Logan) and third generation (George Logan) owners of the house. Currently, about a third of our collection includes items with family provenance.
