Event Details

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Join us to explore the history of a variety of different candies, including some that have been around for well over 100 years and some that are quite new. The program is conducted alphabetically, discussing a different “sweet” for each letter of the alphabet, but addresses broader themes, including when and why consumption of candy in the United States increased. This program will be conducted by a museum educator from the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts.
