The Forgotten Stories Behind Victorian Trade Cards

Why were trade cards so important in days past and why are they so collectible in the present? What do they tell us about popular culture in the late 1800's? And what stories do they have to tell about local people and national obsessions of their time? This program will give you answers to these questions you didn't even know you wanted to ask.

Bring your own lunch if you wish, and we will provide a beverage and dessert. Admission is free for members of the Cortland County Historical Society (CCHS) and $5 for CCHS members-to-be.

This event will take place at the former Free Methodist Church at 9 Grace Street, Cortland.

Please call 607-756-6071 with any questions.
