Heritage Day provides visitors a glimpse into a simpler time in Howard County and Maryland. On this fall day in September, Almira’s Polite Society and others re-enact and interpret daily life during the early Victorian period leading up to the Civil War. For the 2003 Heritage Day, the first Fancy Fair will be held, a market place for historians. Fancy Fairs were held in 19th century American Victorian communities to raise funds for special projects, like building a school, roofing a church, or assisting orphans and widows. Funds from this year’s Fancy Fair will be used to provide funds for Almira’s Polite Society activities. |
