FROM GRIEF TO THE GRAVE, EXPLORING VICTORIAN DEATH CULTURE

Venture through the veil to explore how superstition, customs and rituals defined the Victorian death culture. 

We cordially invite you to an evening at the historic Masonic lodge of Old Towne Orange (rumored to be haunted!) with historian, death scholar, paranormal expert and ghost hostess (with Haunted Orange County) Darcy Staniforth bringing us this special program on Victorian Death Culture. While modern Americans might shy away from talking about death, grief, and loss, the Victorians were immersed in it. From the clothes and jewelry they wore, the way they decorated their houses, to picnicking among the dead, this special historical program will touch on all of that and more.

This program is a very special night of history and a chance to view inside the old Campbell Opera House, now the Masonic Lodge, all provided FREE from the Orange Community Historical Society in partnership with Haunted Orange County, the Orange Grove Lodge #293 Free And Accepted Masons and Darcy Staniforth.
