Workshop to make Tussie Mussies @ Noah Webster House
Sep 22 @ 11:00 am

As a special surprise for the 50th Anniversary Party at the Noah Webster House, help is needed to create some old-fashioned tussie mussies to hand out to the first arrivals. Colonial women tucked tussie mussies in their aprons and bosoms to help with the smells. Tussie mussies have been around since the Middle Ages.  They were also popular in Victorian times.

Please gather and bring by 10 am herbs, small head flowers and grasses from your gardens and the roadside, like Queen Anne’s Lace and golden rod. Sheila Daley will be leading the workshop.
