Above: Lloyd Frisone, who successfully completed the inventory of hundreds of Farmstead artifacts this past summer and fall.

Lloyd majored in English and minored in Art at Guilford College and actively pursued two years of post-baccalaureate studies to broaden and deepen his background in the arts. He is currently in the graduate program in Museum Communication at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia while taking an assistantship at the Philadelphia Yearly Quaker Meeting House. 

Lloyd had just completed an internship at Pennsbury Manor when he signed on to work on the Farmstead inventory in 2011, combining contract work, internship for credit, and volunteerism over a six-month period in order to see it through. This communications specialist surprised himself, he says, by taking so much satisfaction from the experience that he is now thinking about a career in collections management.

Thanks, Lloyd!
