Open Now through March 1, 2024
Utica, N.Y. – Paper, lace, gilt, and watercolor. Don’t miss these Victorian era and vintage valentines from the History Center collections. A large selection, including some from the Proctor family, will be displayed throughout February at the Oneida County History Center in this pop-up exhibit. What’s not to love about these seasonal favorites? The collection spans the 1880s through the 1930s and contains a sampling of the “Golden Age” of valentines.
In conjunction with the exhibit, all ages are invited to visit the History Center for a drop-in workshop to make handmade cards. Cut, paste, and decorate with provided materials. Art projects are designed for ages four and up. This is a fun way for children to get creative and use their hands to make something they will be excited to share with a friend or loved one. The History Center is open Tuesday- Saturday, 10:00 AM- 4:00 PM. The special exhibit of cards will be on display through March 1.
