Victorian Mourning: Explained [A Hearthstone Event]

Join us for this FREE event in the Hearthstone Historic Museum parlor!

As illustrated in Hearthstone’s exhibit Victorian Death and Mourning, death was so commonplace in the Victorian Era that it permeated every aspect of Victorian life. This led to a morbid fascination with the macabre and elaborate rituals to commemorate the dead. In many ways, coping with death became an art form.

Spend an evening with Jason & Kate Loomis as they discuss Victorian mourning customs, funerary traditions, Spiritualism and their mourning collection that is on display here at Hearthstone and identify what’s fact or fiction.
