Enroll your child in Pejepscot History Center's 2022 Untold Stories program. This month is:
Nice to Meet You! Victorian Calling Cards & Social Customs, taught by Aimée Keithan
on Thursday, March 3, from 3:30-5pm
In the days before cell phones and the internet, nearly everyone had a unique “calling card”. These paper cards were used to introduce yourself to new people, send messages, and even tell people you’d stopped by if they weren’t home. They could be simple or very elaborate. Everyone from young ladies just out of high school to famous men with notable careers had them!
In this session we’ll talk about what we can tell about a card’s owner by looking at it, and children will create their own unique calling card to take home.
