Frigid weather and hot tea just go together, especially when your 250+ year old house doesn’t have modern insulation!

August 5th is National Underwear Day, so lets prepare together by sewing our own historic undies! Join us on Zoom to learn about what people in the 19th century were wearing beneath all those layers, take a look at items from the Manor's collection, and follow along with a sewing tutorial to make historic undies you can actually wear! Ages 12+.

This workshop is part of our Making History series.

$5 per person

Need supplies? For an additional fee, we'll mail a kit with all the supplies you need straight to your door. $20 per kit (shipping included). Kits only available until July 21st! Includes: Cut fabric (one size fits most), needle, and thread.

Join us online again for a second live crafting event, this time from Cornelia King’s late-Victorian world!

Participants will learn to make a variety of different kinds of Victorian paper flowers to turn into a garden bouquet or garland, using whatever they already have at home to participate. The program will include a live interactive, family friendly question and answer with a historian and educator on 19th century handicrafts and social culture.

Presented by the Queens Public Library through their Culture Pass Programs! Suitable for ages 10+
