The Good Death: Victorian Mourning Practices

October 20, 2024, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The second of our fall programs focused on the theme of death and mourning is "The Good Death: Victorian Mourning Practices" on Sunday, October 20 at 2 p.m. at Rose Hill Mansion. Historic Geneva's Executive Director Kerry Lippincott will discuss the practices 19th-century Americans used to cope with frequent and often unexplained death.

While on site, visitors can see the 2024 Rose Hill exhibit The Good Death: Illness and Death in the 19th Century.

Historic Geneva programming is supported in part by the ESL Charitable Foundation and Samuel B. Williams Fund for Programs in the Humanities. For more information about this program call Historic Geneva at 315-789-5151.
