Workshop: Making Valentines for History

  • Thu, February 20, 2025
  • 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Join us for an evening of nostalgia and creativity as we step into the past to craft Valentines for the future. In this intimate, ticketed workshop, we’ll explore the History Center’s remarkable collection of Victorian and early 20th-century Valentines, donated by Lois O’Connor of Freeville. These intricate and heartfelt pieces—some printed, others handmade—offer a glimpse into the evolution of love notes across generations.

Inspired by these historical treasures, participants will create their own Valentines for their future selves and future generations. Using an array of vintage-inspired materials, we’ll reflect on the messages we wish to preserve and pass on.

Whether you’re drawn to delicate lace, floral motifs, or poetic sentiments, this evening is an opportunity to engage with history in a deeply personal way. Space is limited—reserve your spot today using the link below!
