Edward-Dean Museum presents a new exhibition, Secrets in the Script This exhibit examines the impact and beauty of printed words and images from the 16th to 19th centuries.
Visit to see how coffee houses became the meeting places where all could gather over a “cup of brew.” Pick up a free cup of coffee to enjoy while you view prints and rare books from the Edward-Dean Collection.
Anyone who wants to attend the opening of the exhibit at the Edward-Dean Museum is welcome to come to my house after the event. I will leave for the museum at 2pm and return to my house around 4pm, so if you want to car-pool feel free to come over before 2pm. You don’t have to be a current member of the group to attend the event!
