Program Description

Event Details

Spend your Valentine's Day reliving the lively tales of the glittering world of families like the Astors and Vanderbilts, and the Dukes of Marlborough and Manchester.

In the late 19th century, fabulously wealthy American heiresses in search of acceptance into a very exclusive New York high society flocked to Europe to find more accommodating eligible bachelors. Some of these marriages survived; others were disastrous; none were what the couple expected.
