The roots of needlepoint go back thousands of years to the ancient Egyptians, who used small slanted stitches to sew up their canvas tents. Archaeologist Howard Carter, who is known for discovering King Tut’s tomb, found some needlepoint in the cave of a pharaoh who had lived around 1500 BC. Today, needlepoint offers a wide range of possibilities for self-expression.  In this class, you’ll learn the techniques and stitches necessary to finish the project provided in class. A painted canvas and supplies are provided.

This DVD, produced by the History channel, will discuss one of the oldest documents in Western Civilization.  The Egyptian Book of the Dead is a collection of spells which enable the soul of the deceased to navigate the afterlife. It originated from concepts depicted in tomb paintings and inscriptions from as early as the Third Dynasty of Egypt (c. 2670 - 2613 BCE). By the 12th Dynasty (1991 - 1802 BCE) these spells, with accompanying illustrations, were written on papyrus and placed in tombs and graves with the dead.

Nearly 100 distinct settlements existed in what we now call Delaware County. Since the end of the American Revolution, Native Americans, pioneer farmers, industrialists and factory workers settled across the county in hamlets, villages and towns of all sizes. Some of these communities survived the ebb and flow of history to prosper, while others disappeared, becoming lost in the collective memory. Today, many residents would only recognize the city of Muncie and the towns of Albany, Daleville, Eaton, Gaston, Selma, and Yorktown. A few might know of villages such as Desoto, New Burlington, Smithfield, and Wheeling. Most have probably never heard of Dogtown, Gate’s Corner, Granville, and Soccum. Drawing upon years of research, Chris uncovers the stories of these lost towns in his new book, Lost Towns of Delaware County, Indiana. Books will be available for signing.

Mary Wollstonecraft wrote one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792). It was written in response to theorists of the 18th century who did not believe women should have an education. Prior to that, Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Men  (1790), that argued that people would be more virtuous and lead more comfortable livesunder a system of fluctuating wealth, rather than that of heredity. In 1797, Wollstonecraft married philosopher William Godwin dying later that year, eleven days after giving birth to her daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, who became Mary Shelley. William Godwin published Memoirs of the Author of a Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1798) as a tribute to his wife.
