Guests will learn and practice the Language of the Fan. It is widely believed that in Victorian times fans were used – much like gloves or parasols – for relaying secret messages. A variety of teas, finger sandwiches and desserts will be served. Door prizes ($1 per chance).

This week’s #tuesdaystreasure is an 1840's handmade spinning wheel. Used by Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas. Dr. & Mrs. Thomas came to the Dakota Territory around 1870. Dr. Thomas was a shoe maker who also became a doctor of opthalmology...so he had locals covered "from head to toe"!
