Folders #180 - #188. Arrangement: Thematic. This series contains memorabilia from Christian C. Sanderson and the Sanderson Museum in Chadds Ford. Christian Sanderson lived from 1882 to 1966, and was a historian focused on “making history live”, a collector of historical memorabilia, musician, lecturer, and a teacher at schools in Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware Counties. Though his favorite lecture topic was the Battle of Brandywine, after his retirement he spent much time teaching children how to square dance, and even recorded his own square dance album. The series includes Postcards with correspondence from Christian Sanderson to Randolph Lytton, museum brochures, newspaper clippings, and the program from his memorial.
