Tea Talks: Deltiology in Downtown Duluth

Deltiology is the study and collection of postcards. Come see some historic Real Photo Postcards of people that were produced in Downtown Duluth over 100 years ago. Postcards were the original selfie and even a form of social media back in the early 1900s. Gina Temple-Rhodes is a local history researcher, history nerd and former librarian. She has been digging into the local historic record for 30 years. Welcome to Tea Talks, interesting talks by interesting people about topics they are passionate about, in a cozy and informal space. We provide the talks and tea, bring your curiosity!
