OCT 4+5, 11+12 When Angels Carried Them Away: Victorian Era Death Mourning (WI)

Victorians embraced death as a cause for elaborate ritual.

This program will feature a presentation on Victorian funeral and mourning customs, a first floor house tour, and narrated lake boat tour of maritime mishaps on the Lake Geneva Cruise Line.
