The Iselins: Winter Colonists and Philanthropists
The headline of the announcement in the New York Times dated May 5th, 1894 read, “Hope Goddard Engaged to C.O. Iselin, Well-Known Yachtsman to Marry Heiress of Millions”.
Hope Goddard, a young woman of twenty-six was in line to inherit a huge fortune. She was beautiful, brave and brilliant. What more could a man such as Charles Oliver Iselin want? He was forty years old and a millionaire in his own right. His wealth had come to him from his grandfather’s investments in coalmining and railroads. But C.O. Iselin was much more famous, in his own right. He lived the life of a dashing sportsman, who Time magazine said was, probably the most famed yachtsman in the U.S. during the latter part of the 19th Century.
Charles was a member of the elite New York Yacht Club. This very special priviledge allowed him to be eligible to participate in the America’s Cup: the most celebrated regatta in the in the history of sailing with the oldest active trophy in international sports. The race is named the America's Cup in honor of the first yacht that won the trophy in a match against Britain in 1857; the schooner America. That same trophy remained in the hands of the New York Yacht Club from 1857 until 1983. Charles Iselin will always be remembered for his skill for helping to keep the trophy during that time.
After he and Hope married, she became the first woman from the United States, to crew for an America’s Cup Race and her involvement in it created quite a controversy in the 1890s. Hope played in a 1900 golf tournament that was hosted by the Prince of Wales. She went on to soundly beat the Russian Grand Duke Michael. Hope and Charles were often seen sharing the British Royal Family’s private box at the famed Ascot horse race course in England.
Together, they sound like the hero and heroine of a romance novel. However, they were members of a select group of American Industrial Revolution aristocracy who built mansions in Aiken, South Carolina for their winter residences.
One of their homes, named All View”, was constructed in 1890 in New York. The castle-like design was created by the renowned architect Stanford White and the estate still sits atop nearly three acres on a private peninsula in the sound. The house is situated to take advantage of the sweeping panoramic water views of the City. Fredrick Olmstead, who designed Central Park, was their landscape architect. Another of their homes called “Wolver Hollow” was built in 1914 on 160 acres in Upper Brookville, New York.
The Iselins had their winter residence constructed in Aiken around the turn-of-the-century and named it “Hopelands”. Their seasons in town were filled with thoroughbred racing and the gardens around the house were constantly improved. Hundreds of camellia bushes were planted in Hopelands’ gardens around the massive, old oak trees. But their enchantment with the small southern town spurred them to do more than just visit. Hope and Charles organized the Aiken Hospital and Relief Society in 1917 to build and buy equipment for the first hospital in town. One story that is told about the funding of the first hospital building was that Hope won a great deal of money playing poker with her friends. She wanted to donate her winnings to a local church, but her “ill-gotten gains” were turned down. So she and Charles decided that it would be put to good use by starting the Aiken Hospital and Relief Society.
Hope was on the board of the Schofield School in Aiken. She supported the charter of that institution and was dedicated to the education of African-American students, who were still segregated from public schools at that time.
Charles died in 1932, but Hope continued to be involved with her horses and invest in philanthropic causes in Aiken. When she died, at age 102 in 1970, she left the fourteen acres of Hopelands Gardens to the City so that everyone would always be able to enjoy the beauty of the landscape she cultivated for almost seventy years. Today, her former stables are the home of the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum and a permanent stage has been constructed by one of the ponds for concert performances.

Standardbred exhibit at the Western PA Sports Museum
Visited the Western PA Sports Museum this weekend and was pleasantly surprised to find Standardbreds a part of their exhibit. Check it out for yourself - they are part of the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
They also had a prototype of an aluminum horseshoe in the History Center display on Alcoa. Kind of cool, you don't often see something that effected the history of horseshoeing in a regular display unless it is about blacksmithing.
