Louise Levy, a lifelong student of American history, will talk about games and activities that brought people together in the Gilded Age at Ventfort Hall. Instead of our traditional afternoon tea a dessert tea will follow along with an ice cream social. What did people do for entertainment in the age before TV and cell phones? How did advancements in technology influence the way the leisure class spent their leisure time? Let’s take a look, literally, through the lens of time at stereographs, sports, and parlor games enjoyed by families like the Morgans as well as their working class neighbors. Please join us for an afternoon of community and camaraderie, Gilded Age style, inspired by objects in the Ventfort Hall Museum collection.
