Victorian Science and the Beyond: Ethereal Evening Tours
October 15 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Join Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters for a special evening of historic house tours exploring the intersections of Victorian scientific thought, the lure of the supernatural, and their echoes today.
50-minute tours will invite participants to examine the unknown and consider the Longfellow family’s entanglements with forensics and phrenology, early views of outer space, the spiritualism movement, and their pioneering use of ether anesthesia.
Tours available at 5:00PM, 5:30PM, 6:00PM, and 6:30PM.
Please note: This tour will include sensitive but frank discussions of 19th century violence, medical procedures, and drug use. Please use discretion when registering.
