From candles to whale oil to gas – illuminating the streets was a very time consuming chore before electricity.
Come hear historian Dennis Picard talk about the men who trimmed the wicks and filled the fonts in villages and towns to aid travelers in the darkest times of the year…and how technology changed it all! Don’t miss the first living history program of the 2019 season.
Living History programs at the NCCHP museum are free for members and donations are gratefully accepted from others. Light refreshments follow the program.
Living History programs are sponsored in part by a grant from the Granville Cultural Council.
