Weep No More: Bizarre Victorian Mourning & Funerary Customs

My Old Kentucky Home 501 E Stephen Foster Ave,, Bardstown, United States

My Old Kentucky Home will be transformed into the bizarre Victorian world of funerals and mourning all of October! Enter the mansion, draped in black swag and feather plumes, and wander the darkened halls to hear the stories of the mansion’s storied past as it relates to death and demise. “Weep No More,” an exhibit on Victorian mourning customs, is coming to My Old Kentucky Home in the heart of bourbon country! During the Victorian era, social customs related to the death of a family member encouraged practices that publicly demonstrated the grief of the remaining family members. Original artifacts including death masks, jewelry and art made of the hair of deceased friends and family, tear vials, black mourning clothing, in addition to entry doors and door knobs draped in black, mirrors turned backwards, clocks stopped at the time of death, and a wake held in the mansion's parlor all set the stage for an otherworldly experience!
