Documentary Trailer
The Curious Nature of Quaker Hill explores how curiosity becomes a lasting legacy. Framed around the final adventure of Lowell Thomas—who sought to capture the history of civilization through artifacts and a single fireplace—the film weaves together world travel, natural history, and the distinguished residents who shaped history far beyond this small hill. From Olive Gunnison’s meticulous collecting to the grounding power of real objects in an age of digital doubt, the story celebrates how physical artifacts anchor us to truth.
A new documentary by Quaker Hill resident Eric Lake.
