A Victorian Family on the Edge of Empire: Storytelling Evening

Join us at Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum for an evening of historical storytelling. 

The Roscoe family created a home at Ross Bay Villa during a pivotal time in BC’s history, living here from 1865-1879. But who were they and how do we reconstruct their lives and understand them in the context of Victoria today? In a cozy evening of storytelling in a historic drawing room, catch a glimpse of the everyday lives of this family, complete with picnics, skating, politics and social calls.  

Kathryn McAllister, storyteller and President of the Ross Bay Villa Society, explores the story of a family who left all that was familiar for the chance at a better life, and became a part of Victoria’s complex colonial past. March 19th at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 and must be booked in advance at https://tinyurl.com/VictorianFamily. All proceeds support the entirely volunteer based Ross Bay Villa Society, which owns and operates Ross Bay Villa.
