We have a group that does Victorian dances here They have 4 annual events consisting of Grand Victorian Balls and have a series of smaller events also.Have him google Historic dance groupsor Victorian Dance groups We also have an annual event ,1 county over, commorating the birth of Charles Dickens. Its a 3 day event, a Pub Night, and 2 day street fest,all done with a Victorian theme. Visitors are encouraged to dress in Victorian garb, as are all the participants.. This same county has a Xmas event that is a progressive dinner served at restored Victorian homes,as a fund raiser for the Historic Preservation Society He may want to google Victorian Events in his area,and see what he comes up with. He can also contact any historical Societys in town,they may have leads for him.

And while in Baltimore, visit the Walter's Art Gallery - thewalters.org. It's stuffed full of Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood romantic paintings.
