2026 After Hours Series
During our 2026 After Hours: A Victorian Journey to America’s 250th Anniversary series, guests are invited to explore the Peel Museum and Botanical Garden at their own pace on the second Thursday of each month from 5:00–7:00 PM. Tour guides will be stationed throughout the museum to share stories, answer questions, and highlight connections between Victorian life and America’s approaching 250th anniversary. Visitors may also stop by the hands-on craft table to create a free seasonal project inspired by 19th-century traditions. Families are encouraged to complete the themed scavenger hunt during their visit. Once finished, participants can present it at the Museum Store to receive 15% off one item as a thank-you for exploring with us. Each month features a new historical theme, an engaging craft, and an opportunity to connect past and present in a relaxed and welcoming evening setting.
April 9 Theme: Victorian Spring Scraps & Sentiment
Before modern stickers and trading cards, Victorian children collected beautifully printed paper scraps featuring birds, flowers, and pastoral scenes. These colorful die-cuts were traded among friends and carefully pasted into scrapbooks or onto keepsake cards. Guests will create a Victorian-style bookmark using reproduction spring scraps, celebrating the season just as families did in the 1800s.
