Event Description
*Note: This event has been postponed. New date TBD. Please check our website for the most up-to-date information.*
In the early 1900s, long before there was #METOO, city women protected themselves against unwanted advances from men on public transportation, with HAT PINS! Hear about the history of hat pins and how they created a panic among police as far away as Europe! This program is part of the Cabinets of Curiosity series and accompanies a mini hatpin exhibit in the Victorian Home. This program is free and open to the public.
