A local organization will be hosting a program tomorrow for people to learn more about history from the 1870s. 

Hometown Heritage at the Carnegie Library Museum will be hosting the Dining Manners and Menus in Victorian Iowa program running from 2-4 p.m. this Sunday. Those attending will learn how to set a Victorian table and eat politely based on standards from the 1870s. 

Pictures will help guide participants through the courses of the meal and there will be a hands-on activity where people can participate in setting, serving and sitting correctly at the table. 

This program is free, no registration is required and it will be presented by Janet Dennis from Iowa Living History Farms.
