A Visit with Mrs. Potts SATURDAY, MARCH 9 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. | John Humphrey House

Potts’ Sad Iron

Mary Florence Potts’ sad iron was very popular amongst the ladies of the 19th century. Irons of the day had safety concerns and were clumsy to use. Mrs. Potts invented a hollow, metal-bodied iron that had a removable wood handle, with both ends of the iron pointed, so the user could use the iron safely and in both directions. Join presenter Ellie as she entertains guests by portraying Mrs. Potts in 1893 when she showed her invention at the Columbian Exposition. Hot tea and biscuits will be served for all to enjoy.
