Fun with Fans & Fashion at Eckley Miners’ Village Did you know that in Victorian times, long before the age of emoticons and online chats, handheld fans served as more than cooling instruments? Ladies would flip, fold and fiddle with fans to send secret messages in social settings. Learn about this early form of “texting,” and see fine Victorian fashions during the upcoming Victorian Fashion Show at Eckley Miners’ Village! This exciting, interactive event will take place at the Village’s Sharpe House on Saturday, May 25 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Queen Victoria’s Court will present Edwardian-Era clothing, including fine combinations of lace, adornments and fabrics. The period-perfect presentation will feature expertly-replicated ensembles, including everything from strategically-tilted hats to Victorian-Era hairstyles and the essential handheld fans. Admission to the Victorian Fashion Show costs $10 per guest. Seating is limited. Tickets can be purchased from the Museum in advance or on the day of the event while supplies last. Complimentary tea and cookies will be served after the show, and the Hazleton Garden Club will offer herbs and plants for sale. Eckley Miners’ Village Museum is located three miles south of Route 940 in Luzerne County. For more information, visit www.eckleyminersvillagemuseum.com or call (570) 636-2070.
