Ambler, WHS present Historical Scrapbooking

The Wilton Historical Society and Ambler Farm team up to present Historical Scrapbooking at the farm Sunday, Feb. 28, from 2-4 p.m.

Pamela Hovland, the designer responsible for creating Ambler Farm's visual identity, will lead this fascinating workshop that offers a glimpse into how early scrapbooks depicted American life through letters, photographs, clippings, and ephemera, in additional to all sorts of personal materials.

Our great-great-grandmothers'(and even some grandfathers') scrapbooks were quite different from contemporary ones. Learn about the history of scrapbooking in this country and how to make a contemporary scrapbook inspired by examples from the last few centuries.

Old scrapbooks from Raymond and Ambler family members and others will be on display courtesy of the Wilton Historical Society. 

Fees are $20 for Ambler/WHS members and $25 for non-members. To register, click here: http://www.wiltonhistorical.org/pages/scrapbooks.reg.htm or call the historical society at (203) 762-7257.
