Before the internet, before television, before radio, people would gather in their homes and parlors and entertain each other with music, poetry, literature, stories, dance, jokes, art, and conversation. Join us at the Whaley House Historic Museum for a traditional Salon Recital, a “cultured” “society” variety show with new guests, new performers, new voices each month. Have you got something interesting to share? We’d love to add you to a future program!
