Parlor Games with Anoka County Historical Society

Do you know how to entertain your friends in posh surroundings, wearing a corset and sipping a delicate cup of tea? It’s more fun than you may imagine! Join the Anoka County Historical Society to learn the intricacies of playing parlor games like “Ball of Wool,” “Speaking Bluff,” and “Taps.” We will also talk about surprising social traditions like drinking from a saucer or leaving calling cards when you visited. Ah, etiquette, how you have changed!
