ROUND-BREAKING AI BRINGS HISTORY TO LIFE - NEW EXHIBITION UNVEILS THE UNTOLD STORY OF A GILDED AGE AMERICAN HEIRESS.
A new exhibition offers a glimpse into the captivating world of Alberta Sturges Montagu, the 9th Countess of Sandwich, and an American Heiress from the renowned era known as The Gilded Age.
Curated by Mapperton’s very own American Viscountess, Julie Montagu, the "American Heiress" collection is comprised of more than 10,000 previously unseen letters exchanged between Alberta (Sturges) Montagu and her family, as well as the peerage at large.
Dating from 1888 to 1951, these letters constitute the largest unpublished private collection of correspondence from the period. They offer a remarkable glimpse into the life of a "dollar bride" during the Gilded Age, shedding light on both triumphs and struggles.
The exhibition takes innovation to the next level by introducing Alberta AI, a ground-breaking creation that brings her story to life like never before.
“With the aid of cutting-edge AI technology, we've resurrected Alberta's voice, allowing her to answer visitors’ burning questions about her remarkable journey,” says Julie Montagu, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke.

My tiny contribution is a view, a like and a comment. Big Thanks to all who gave $$$.
What a great idea to have the Birds of Prey show to accompany the unveiling of your eagles. Y'all really did well in honoring the wonderful donors.
It was so nice to see the Countess along with the others. Give the Earl our love. We miss him and wish him well.
The eagles have risen from their ashes thanks to the great generosity of the patreons and other donors who have thus left their mark for the posterity of Mapperton Manor and to the amazing workmanship of the restorer.
I love how the Eagles are looking at each other like “we’re back!”
Hooray! The eagles have landed.
Just stunning work. Imagine seeing these eagles first crafted, and now reborn to grace the entry of Mapperton. Such gracious generous donors. Very touching. Thank you.
So happy to see the eagles guarding the manor again!
You are so fortunate to have the craftsmen available to repair your magnificent eagles! They will fly proudly again for a very long time! Thank you Patreons and all donors making the restoration possible! ❤🎉
Thanks to all those who donated
The eagles are stunning! The craftsman that restored them did an amazing job!
To me, it is so important to keep these homes as well as other really old places up. In the U S old majestic homes are not being taken care of as well as they should be. These places are part of history and for many of us a shared heritage. Our families can be traced back to several of the grand homes and castles in Europe. I want them there for my Granddaughters to see in the future. You are doing a great service in making others aware that it restorations need to be done and that several need to get involved in funding the process.
So glad they are back where they belong ❤
Julie and Luke, I was getting all emotional watching this, so no need to apologize! My tears were almost falling and there was the HUGE lump in my throat as you were talking. Those brilliant big birds are BACK! WELL DONE, ALL! The craftsmen, the scaffolding staff, the transporters to get them home safely, and most importantly, the generous donors who helped pay for this enormous task of repair! Thank you all for getting those eagles back on their perches, guarding the house and greeting the visitors! Simply magnificent!
Thank you all major donors. Yours was a gift to all of us too.
The eagles are beautiful !!!! Thank you to all that helped with the restoration.🦅🦅
Awww…the eagle unveiling made me tear up! Then it made me laugh my guts out! The music was perfection! 😂😂😂 The bird show you provided your guests at the end was top notch! Wow!
Hi Julie and Luke, "AMAZING" the eagles have come home. They look so beautiful. Thank you everybody who was able to donate and make this possible. I am so happy for you and for Mapperton. Love from N.Y.
WOW! How beautiful and Majestic they look guarding the entrance and the backdrop of Flowers on the home just sets them off beautifully ❣️
How beautiful the front of the house looks with all the flowering vines in bloom! Plant more! Spring is definitely Mapperton season! They are just beautiful! eagles! The unveiling of Luke was hilarious! Fantastic craftsmanship and what a great team effort to get Flutter and Swoop back up! Glad you took down those old battered wooden gates. I think cast iron gates would be beautiful in future, if you decide to replace them.
Those Eagles Are Stunning! So Regal and history telling. Love them and so appreciate the donors who made it happen! ❤❤❤❤
It is thrilling to see the eagles back where they belong! ❤
The eagles have landed indeed. Magnificient! Majestic! Beautiful!❤❤❤❤ Well done everyone!!
What lovely lovely people!! A wonderful celebration, the Eagles are totally majestic!
This was so funny--the comment about being afraid most of all about gravity and the slight delay with unveiling the eagles. I'm so happy they have been beautifully restored. Thank you to all who contributed and thank you Julie and Luke for being willing to ask people for help rather than letting this beautiful piece of history fall to ruin.
Yay! The eagles
Are looking so
Regal. A magnificent thing😊
Wonderful idea to have real eagles as well.
Found it interesting that the entrance to Mapperton has eagles and Julie was born in America and the symbol of America is the eagle. Great job with restoration of the eagles. Enjoying watching the history of the place and the restoration of the property.
The Eagle reveal was the cutest!
Anyone who has seen eagles in flight has seen nature’s beauty at its best! These are a fine representation of their beauty! May they guard Mapperton for another one hundred years!!!
How wonderful to have your eagles back in place.

Perfect music for handling the unveiling of the second eagle! Julie's description, "Majestic, vibrant and alive," was the perfect adjectives to use.

What a fabulous video. I am so happy for everybody - including the patrons and donors that were able to attend this event. So grateful for you to maintain the history of beautiful England.
I am thrilled to know the “Mapperton Eagles are back in their nest where they belong!
Magnificent. Luke's unveiling was an added bonus. Your craftsmen are just amazing also.
Love those eagles! They remind me of the polar bears at my great, great grandparents house (now a museum).
A magnificent repair job on the majestic eagles 🦅🦅
Julie, I have noticed your accent becoming less American and more English. A lot of your words you have picked up the English way of saying them. Like the word "all" It's a unique accent, I like it.
Thank you to everyone who so kindly + generously donated to the restoration of these magnificent eagles. And thanks to the artisan who recreated these ancient art/artifacts. Congratulations to Luke and Julie and his parents for all the work they do maintaining this historic and lovely home.
They look magnificent well done😊
It was fantastic watching the Eagles being placed on their perches. How thrilling for you all. Thank you for sharing this momentis occasion.
Absolutely beautiful, Mapperton is now complete again, outstanding craftsmanship. I have visited when they were there and last year when they weren’t, will have to have another visit to appreciate their new splendour.
The eagles look wonderful back in their rightful places. What amazing workmanship by Mike in restoring them.
So majestic. They truly are another crowning gory to Mapperton. Even when Mike was starting on them it was obvious the artistic talent that would be required. He did a masterful restoration. From Oklahoma USA what a blessing to be a part of this even though not in person🙏✝️🕊️
Fantastic!
