Downton Abbey Comes to Bulloch Hall in May
Make your Reservations now for this delightful event!
Are you a “Downton Abbey” fan? If so, you will want to come to Bulloch Hall in Roswell, Georgia on Saturday, May 2nd for our “Dressed for Drama” Downton Soiree. Wedding folklorist and costume historian, Cornelia Powell, will be our guest speaker (some may know her from her nationally celebrated bridal art-to-wear store in Buckhead in the ‘80s and ‘90s.) Ms. Powell was guest speaker at Winterthur Museum last year during their “Costumes of Downton Abbey” exhibition and will speak at the “Dressing Downton” exhibit at Biltmore House this spring in Asheville, North Carolina. We are thrilled that she is bringing her “Downton Abbey” costume expertise to Bulloch Hall.
The day’s event—kicking off our National Preservation Month celebration—includes a talk and PowerPoint presentation by Ms. Powell, book signing, shopping at a “Vintage Collections” pop-up boutique, an afternoon tea, and a tour of Bulloch Hall to see the beautiful vintage clothing exhibit provided by the Roswell Historical Society. Period literature, films, and television—including the wildly popular PBS series “Downton Abbey”—provide the inspiration for the “Dressed for Drama” exhibition.
Ms. Powell’s presentation, “Fashioning Downton”—full of beautiful ake your and delightful commentary—shares intriguing behind-the-scene stories from the show’s costume designers about creating clothes for the rituals of an aristocratic lifestyle. She explains how the talented designers (with their passion for luscious texture, vintage accuracy and attention to detail) beautifully “translate” fashions from these historically pivotal times when the world was becoming modern in a thousand dazzling ways.
Guests will also have the opportunity to buy an autographed copy of the Amazon best-selling author’s recently published book, The End of the Fairy-Tale Bride {Volume One} For Better or Worse, How Princess Diana Rescued the Great White Wedding.
There will be two seatings for this English-inspired engagement on May 2nd: Join us either at 11 a.m. or 3 p.m. Tickets are $40 and reservations must be made in advance by calling 770 992-1731. Ext. 2, 3, or 4. (Space is limited.) The costume exhibit “Dressed for Drama” can be seen at Bulloch Hall through the months of May and June during regular scheduled tours: Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and Sundays 1-3 p.m

Welcome to Bulloch Hall
Bulloch Hall was constructed for James Stephens Bulloch and his wife Martha Stewart Elliott Bulloch when they moved to Roswell from Savannah, a coastal Georgia town.
Major Bulloch was a stockholder in the Roswell Manufacturing Company owned by Roswell King, founder of the town of Roswell.
The Bullochs had four children from previous marriages, and had four children together: Anna, Mittie, Charles & Irvine. Major Bulloch died of a heart attack in 1849 while teaching a Bible class at the Presbyterian Church. His untimely death left Mrs. Bulloch to raise their family alone and maintain Bulloch Hall.
Mittie, their second daughter, became mother of President Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, and grandmother of Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady from 1933-1945.
