SUMMARY:Fashionable Death\, Fashionable Life: Mourning Fashions & Memento Mori 
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome guest speaker\, Brandon W. Brooks\, curator of the John L. Wehle Gallery at Genesee Country Village & Museum\, to explore the world of 19th-century American mourning fashions for men\, women\, and children. How did we participate in the public institution of mourning\, and what did we wear to honor and remember the dead?  How did the American Rural Cemetery Movement contribute to the cult of mourning\, and how do we mourn today?  This talk features images from the latest exhibition at Genesee Country Village & Museum\, “Everybody’s Going to be There! The American Rural Cemetery Movement” on view through November\, 2025. \nBrandon W. Brooks works as curator of the John L. Wehle Gallery at Genesee Country Village & Museum. Serving in this role since 2020\, Brandon has the pleasure of curating over 400 years of European and American sporting and wildlife art\, as well as over 300 years of fashion and textile history. In addition to curation\, Brandon creates and hosts innovative programming and speaking events at the Gallery itself as well as at annual conferences\, often related to fashion\, textile\, or art history. Brandon’s current role also involves managing a small staff of gallery docents\, collaboration between sister museums and historical institutions across the State of New York\, serving as a peer leader on the DEAI (diversity\, equity\, accessibility\, and inclusion) committee\, and the creation and expansion of a free\, publicly-accessible historic pattern database\, reverse-engineered from historic extant originals. Outside of Genesee Country Village & Museum\, Brandon serves a board member for Rochester’s Rainbow Union (formally Out Alliance)\, as well as for the1816 Farmington Quaker Meetinghouse Museum. Brooks has also worked in the mental health counselling field for over ten years working with DePaul Community Services. Brandon received his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Adelphi University’s Honors College program. \nAll proceeds benefit the Forest Lawn Heritage Foundation.

The book traces the career and personal life of Major General Bennet C.

During the early 1840’s\, Riley was the commanding officer of the Buffalo Barracks\, an army post located on what is now the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site. The experience of Riley during his time here and his interactions with notable Buffalonians convinced him to return here after his military service was finished.

Tom also re-enacts General Riley as part of Forest Lawn’s Famous Sunday in the Cemetery Tours (pictured). \n  \nFollowing the presentation\, Tom will take questions and have books available for purchase and personalization. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. A $10 suggested donation will be accepted at the door for the Forest Lawn Heritage Foundation\, which helps to make programs like this possible for the community. \n\nImportant Information\nTickets: You do not need to print any ticketing information; attendees will be checked in by name. \nEvent Location: The event will take place at the Margaret L.
