The Lombard Historical Society presents “The Art of Dying: Mediums and Spirits,” a Victorian mourning tour of the Victorian Cottage.

Travel back in time to learn firsthand about what happens when death paid the Victorians a visit.

Tours are Oct. 16-17 starting at 6, 7, and 8 p.m. Add on a tarot reading for $10 and make it a truly Victorian evening. Tickets are $12 for members and $15 for non-members.

Enter through the doors of the Victorian Cottage and learn about how the Victorian’s mourned and the lengths they would go to remain connected to their dearly departed.

In a 45-minute tour, guests will learn about local spiritualist EV Wilson, even getting a chance to “meet” him and see perspectives about those who believed in the communications from beyond, and those who thought it was all a charade.
