Kate Brown Unfolds Fans from Her Collection

El Paso Museum of History
March 31, 2009
6:30 pm to 7:30 pm

Although Mrs. W.R. “Kate” Brown passed away in 1945, her spirit is still with us through her legacy of fans she donated which is the core of the Museum’s collection. Enjoy a fun-filled evening of fan insight, history and an opportunity to hear from Kate Brown herself as Sue Taylor, Senior Education Curator, brings to life this historic lady. Learn not only about Kate’s travels and her own interests, but also how these miniature works of art fans were an important part of everyday life. Included in the lecture will be a slide presentation of the collection not currently on display. The audience is encouraged to interact with Mrs. Brown in learning how to properly use the fan. R.S.V.P. requested.
