About this Event
Before the days of video games and television, kids and adults alike passed the time with “amusements”. Often these “amusements” had their basis in the newest science discoveries of the day. Join us in exploring everything from optical illusions to parlor games and have a most amusing time learning science, art, and math…19th century style!
