There are still a few spaces left for the "Victorian Secrets With Tea" on Saturday, April 27, 2024, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The deadline for signing up has been extended to Thursday, April 25. The Carson City Historical Society (CCHC) presents this afternoon tea in the Carriage House behind the Foreman-Roberts Historic House at 1207 Carson Street, Carson City.
The program includes a talk by Rebecca Van Sickle on Victorian dress called "What They Wore: An Intimate Look At Victorian Dress." She will provide a dress-up demonstration and lecture. After the talk there will be a tour of the historic Foreman-Roberts House.
Rebecca Van Sickle is a local living historian and budding costuming enthusiast. From a young age, she has been fascinated with Victorian dress and was introduced to 1860s' fashion while her parents were re-enactors in the early '90s. Rebecca is a native Nevadan and is proud to share her love of history with Carson City and the surrounding communities.
