The exhibit will feature actual Victorian-era valentine’s cards, and will run from Thursday through mid-April. It’s free, and will be in the Emma Ritchie Auditorium of the historical society building, 327 N. Third St., in Hamilton.
The exhibit also will be accompanied by a special event at 7 p.m. Friday. The society’s executive director, Kathy Creighton, will discuss how Valentine’s celebrations evolved during the period, including how Cupid, flowers and love grew to be part of Valentine’s cards. That Friday wine-and-cheese event will run from 6 to 9 p.m. and is for historical society members only. But non-members will be able to join the society that evening.
Membership rates are $15 for students, $20 for adults, and $30 for households.
People who plan to attend are asked to RSVP by calling 513-896-9930.
