Description

Before the era of emails, texts, and phone calls – in the golden age of hand-written letters – Victorians popularly used codes and cyphers to entertain readers and even conceal information. Join Rockwood’s Adult Educator, John Rutkowski, to explore historical examples of coded writing and to test your ability to write and decipher forms of coded messages. Focus will be placed on “cupcakes” – great for families.
