Senior Moments: Calling All Spirits: Spiritualism in the Victorian Era

presented by David Desimone, Director of Black Point Estate and Gardens, the Wisconsin Historical Society's historic house museum in Lake Geneva.

Learn about the uncanny world of 19th-century American Spiritualism. More than a parlor game, this was a new religion that channeled the voices of the dead, linked the present with the past, and conjured new worldly and otherworldly futures. This program will cover everything from the Fox sisters, often credited with the first major wave of Spiritualism in America to the Morris Pratt Institute, the first school dedicated to teaching Spiritualism in America, located in Whitewater.
