The history of mothers and motherhood takes center stage this Saturday–for, what else, Mother’s Day–at the Virginia Historical Society.

The museum is hosting a tour featuring significant items in their collections, including The Compleat Housewife (1742), the first cookbook published in British North America; an early twentieth-century baby carriage used by several generations of the Wellford family; and letters from Fanny Scott, written 1863-1865, while she searched for her son, Benjamin Irby Scott, who went missing-in-action during the Civil War.

Tickets are $10 for VHS members and $17 for non-members. Advance registration is recommended.
