About this event

Dive into the history of the enigmatic Ouija board, and learn how spirit communication became a phenomenon that swept the nation. Today a trademarked game owned and manufactured by Hasbro, Ouija has a history that stretches back to the 19th century. At one time, the "talking board" outsold Monopoly—appearing in silent films, Valentine's Day greeting cards, popular sheet music, and even a Norman Rockwell illustration. Get an up-close look at more than a dozen vintage boards—all with their own unique design and aesthetic—that have dazzled the curious and mystified skeptics for more than one hundred years.
