Step back in time at the Jordan House Museum during our traditional Victorian Salons, an evening series inspired by the social gatherings of the 19th century. In the Victorian era, salons brought people together for thoughtful conversation, music, storytelling, and the sharing of ideas in an intimate home setting.
Guests will enjoy an atmosphere of history and hospitality as the Jordan House comes alive with engaging presentations, discussion and opportunities to connect with others—just as visitors might have done generations ago.
Join us for an elegant and enriching evening where history, community, and conversation meet.

Images & caricatures of indigenous people have been used for centuries for advertising and sports teams. In recent years, there’s been a backlash focused on professional teams such as the Washington Redskins, Atlanta Braves’ tomahawk chop and Chief Wahoo, the former logo of the former Cleveland Indians (now the Cleveland Guardians.)
Are these depictions paying homage to positive characterizations of indigenous bravery, or a crude insult disguised as a compliment? We’ll discuss this with Tieranny Keahna, a historian with the Meskwaki Tribal Museum and a member of the nation.
