		<title>Research findings &#8211; wall paintings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have received the reports of our two consultants who examined the wall painting, stenciling and other interior aspects (nails, woodwork profiles, etc.) of the house, which you will find under the Library heading on the right. The information is fascinating (to some of us), but probably raises more questions than it answers&#8211;a frequent outcome. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ole Towne Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In spite of searing heat, John Torkos, Dave Cheatman &#38; Charlie Breeland marched into Walters Park in full regalia on Saturday. They had to pause several times for pictures with swarms of kids (and a few old-timers, too), as they marched to the fife and drum to the Phillipsburg Area Historical Society tent. There they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Olde Towne Festival music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ed Saultz has again arranged for several musical groups to perform at the Roseberry House during the Olde Towne Festival (July 24-25). The music is traditional and the performers are professional. The sound just totally filled the house last year. Depending on the weather, we may have the concerts outside this year. Here&#8217;s the schedule: [...]]]></description>

		<title>waiting for the analysis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The preliminary investigation is finished and now we&#8217;re just waiting for the lab analysis from the archaeologists and the paint and color specialists. No dramatic discoveries that will make any headlines, but an accretion of little things that ought to give us a better idea of  when the building was constructed, the walls plastered, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>the dig is on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Documentation is an important part of every archaeological dig. Dan is in the trench (called a &#8220;unit&#8221;) and Andy is recording the depth at which the soil changed from one color and texture to another. Every bit of glass, pottery, nails, etc. is recorded by the  depth where it was found. Nothing very dramatic about [...]]]></description>

		<title>wall painting &amp; stenciling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chris Frey spent the day in the two parlors at the Roseberry house on Wednesday. He uncovered several major areas and took samples. He determined that the paint is a distemper—a water-soluble type common in the colonial period, and that the paintings are covered with 5-7 layers of whitewash. The background color of the wall [...]]]></description>

		<title>Analysis of wall paintings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chris Frey of the Keystone Preservation group will begin to remove layers of paint from a small portion of the parlor wall on Wednesday, April 14. He&#8217;ll be there all day, and says it won&#8217;t bother him if people want to stop by to observe. He said he&#8217;ll probably know a little more in the [...]]]></description>
