All That Makes Life Bright

On a quest to make a better life for themselves and their families, three activists connect with people and artifacts on this plane and the next. Join us as we look at letters, spirit journals, and funerary jewelry in this year’s All That Makes Life Bright. Sip wine, eat chocolate, engage in 19th-century Valentine's Day, and view objects from the collections.

Before the tour begins, guests are invited to:
🍷 Sip wine and savor chocolate in a Valentine’s Day ambiance
💌 Explore letters from Harriet Jacobs and Isabella Beecher Hooker
📜 Read Harriet Jacob’s gold embossed letter
📃 Read Harriet Stowe’s letter of support for Reverend Strother
🪶 Read Isabella Beecher Hooker’s letter of astonishment at her daughter’s reaction to suffrage
💫 View mourning jewelry
🖋 Victorian valentines

At 3:30 & 4:00 PM, the experience deepens as guests step into the historic home for an exclusive Spirits Tour, uncovering the power of spiritualism to transform a struggle for freedom and equal rights.

This is a one-night-only event blending history, intrigue, and the allure of love on this plane and the next.
