Hysterical Society

By T.H. Gray

Hysterical Society, n.  Alternative for historical society. Though considered by each user to be of their own invention, the term was invented an hour after the first historical society was founded. It has been applied to every historical society from the beginning of time and is always followed by the user remarking that’s how they “see this place.”

About T.H. Gray

A lifelong museum professional and reenactor, he is a graduate of the prestigious Peale-Barnum Public History Museum Studies Program.
