Jane Austen Day

jane+a

Celebrate the life and works of Jane Austen with an afternoon at Manor Mill. Austen enthusiasts will lead talks on her “big six” novels (ranging from “Sense and Sensibility: God Help the Mister that Comes between Me and My Sister” to “Persuasion: Setting Boundaries and Self-Care”). Others will explore Austen’s medical woes, her poetry, what she ate, and her lasting effect on publishing. There will be plenty of crafting opportunities with make-and-take, period-inspired projects and expert demonstrations of everything from spoon carving to basket making.

The cost is $30 for a day pass, and you can choose your own schedule from a range of offerings, including add-ons such as Regency-style portraits or a photo op with a historical carriage. 

The event is sponsored by JASNA Maryland and Manor Mill, with proceeds supporting Manor Mill's Water Wheel Restoration Project.
