Beginning Sundays in September at Ireland House Museum, find out if you could be a Victorian! Each month, How to Be a Victorian takes on a different part of everyday life in the 19th century, from getting dressed and going to school, to surviving winter, and celebrating Christmas. Explore historic objects, try your hand at Victorian skills, and tackle the everyday challenges of life before modern conveniences. History isn’t just something to look at, it’s something to try.

Each month features a different theme, all activities are included in the price of admission (FREE for family membership holders). Activities are designed for ages 5-12. Bring the whole family! Pre-registration is recommended, but not required. Walk-in visitors are welcome space permitting. Learn more >> https://ow.ly/Qz1z50ZC23U
