Combine a special evening viewing of the “Making Their Mark” exhibit with a hands-on exploration of the history of pens with Geoff Parker, great-grandson of George S. Parker, founder of the Parker Pen Company. Discover how pens and writing have changed over time. You will have the opportunity to write with changing pen technology starting with a quill, moving through dip pens and bladder pens and ending with the pens we use today.
