The Colonial Revival Movement

As the United States celebrated its 100th birthday, many of its citizens began to long for the good old days. Art, architecture and fashion began to take on styles popular during the country's birth. It's known as the Colonial Revival Movement, and New Hampshire's Seacoast was home to many of its champions. Tonight on the Front Porch, we'll explore this exciting period of American Culture through a new play that looks back on one of its defacto leaders, Wallace Nutting.

Our guests are:

• Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers, co-artistic directors of Portsmouth's Pontine Theatre. Their play, Wallace Nutting's Old America, begins this weekend and runs through mid-May. Click here for details.
• Virginia Spiller, librarian for the Old York Historical Society
