Event description

Join us to kick off our Kaffee und Kuchen programs! This week we welcome Cammie from the Mississippi Spoon Gallery to learn about her collection of silver spoons from Germany. 

Collecting souvenir spoons has been a popular hobby for many Americans since the late 1800s when this European fad swept the nation. Souvenir spoons grew out of the birth of leisure tourism in Europe around the mid 1800s. Wealthy Americans on a Grand Tour of Europe brought home these souvenirs marked with the names of cities and some of the famous landmarks they had seen.

View the fine craftsmanship and artistry of the silversmiths and the history depicted in these unique spoons.
