Valentine Workshop for children

County Historical Society
MCHS PRESS RELEASE
Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends that have been
observed for centuries. One of the earliest familiar symbols of Valentine's Day
is Cupid, the Roman god of love, who is depicted as a young boy with a bow
and arrow. In the Middle Ages, romantic sentiments were exchanged through
verse or melody. The first paper valentine was exchanged between the
imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415 who passed his time composing romantic
verses for his wife. Early valentines were handmade with stylized written verse
and decorated with colored inks. By the 1800s, valentines were
manufactured in black and white that were hand painted with hearts and
cupids. In the 1850s, fancier valentines were decorated with lace, ribbons,
silk, satin, and gold leaf. By the turn of century, valentines were made entirely
by machine.
Everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14 - a day
when valentines and gifts are exchanged between loved ones. In the tradition
of Valentine’s Day, the Madison County Historical Society will have a make-
your-own Victorian Valentine workshop for children between the ages of 8-12
on Saturday, February 11. There is a nominal fee of $5 per child to cover the
cost of supplies. The workshop will be held during two sessions at the
historical society located at 435 Main Street in Oneida. The first session is
from 10 -11:30 am. The second session is from 12:30- 2:00 pm. Reservations
