GRADE 4 Victorian Etiquette
The tour begins with a 5-minute slide show introducing the Victorian Era and its rules of etiquette. In the Wichita Cottage exhibit the class takes turns visiting the rooms of a typical Wichita home of 1890, discussing the use of calling cards, proper manners in the parlor, and how to set the tableware for a family dinner. Authentic kitchen utensils provide an opportunity to grind coffee and peel apples as if in preparation for guests, and a parlor game demonstrates a form of Victorian entertainment. (Duration: 1 hour)
