About this event
Learn about the bygone customs and symbols of death used by Victorian-era Americans, including the Seward family. With war, rampant disease, and high infant mortality rates, death was not an unusual visitor to the average 1800s household. To handle this constant trauma, Victorians developed ways of coping with death that we may find strange today. $15 Members, $20 Non-Members. Tickets on sale soon!
