Hometown Heritage at the Carnegie Library Museum Event: Dining Manners and Menus in Victorian Iowa

August 21, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Everyone is invited to attend a Hometown Heritage at the Carnegie Library Museum program, Dining Manners and Menus in Victorian Iowa, at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, August 21. Can you set an elegant dinner table? Setting a proper table and eating politely were defining manners for a Victorian homemaker. Photographs will lead you through the courses of a meal while you learn how our modern thoughts on dinner evolved from the 1870s. As a hands-on activity, you will practice laying a place setting, and serving and sitting correctly at an elegant meal. Guest presenter is Janet Dennis from Living History Farms. Everyone is welcome – no registration needed! For more information, call the Carnegie Library Museum: 515-465-7713.
