IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wilmington, Delaware – February 2012 – Celebrate Valentine’s Day by enjoying an afternoon of sweets and fun at Hagley Museum and Library on Sunday, February 12, from 12:30 to 4 p.m. Hagley welcomes adults and children to enjoy crafts, snacks, and activities during Victorine’s Valentine’s Day program. This year, Hagley is asking families to create two Victorian-style valentines at its “Scrap” Valentine’s Day Card workshop – one to keep and one to give to a resident of a local nursing home. Program is included in the cost of admission.
Indulge your sweet tooth with freshly baked gingerbread hearts baked from a woodstove and warm up with a cup of hot chocolate complete with toppings like mint, butterscotch, marshmallows, and whipped cream too! Explore our exhibit on candy-themed treasures including a display of antique Valentines, cookbooks, and vintage candy bar wrappers. Children can decorate a candy bar wrapper of their own to give to their favorite Valentine and write love poems with a quill pen.
This annual event honors the memory of Victorine du Pont Bauduy, the eldest daughter of the DuPont Company’s founder, who spent time as superintendent of the Brandywine Manufacturers’ Sunday School during the nineteenth century. While Victorine lost the love of her life only ten weeks after her marriage, she found love again in her passion for teaching. Learn more about her story, read her love poems, and find out how she fell in love again at Victorine’s Valentine’s Day. Hagley Museum and Library collects, preserves, and interprets the unfolding history of American enterprise. The museum is located on Route 141 in Wilmington, Delaware. Admission to the entire 235-acre museum is $11 for adults, $9 for students and senior citizens, $4 for children six to fourteen, and free for children five and under. Call (302) 658-2400 weekdays for more information or visit www.hagley.org.
