A beautiful and fascinating valentine display at the museum.
Love is in the air as the Miller-Cory House Museum presents “Vintage Valentines” on February 11, 2:00 to 4:00. The writing of romantic notes and letters for St. Valentine’s Day was very popular in colonial America. By the mid-1800s, the first mass-produced Valentine’s Day cards were sold, and an industry was born. The program features a display of vintage valentines, some dating to the 1800s, a children’s Valentine’s Day craft and light refreshments. The program also includes a tribute to Ms. Jean Groszmann, whose fascinating collections, including valentines, provided the basis for numerous programs at the museum. Admission is $4.00 for ages 13 and older, $3.00 for ages 3 to 12 and free under age 3.
