Episode Details

In Wichita, Kansas, a quiet revival is underway as locals flock to cursive handwriting workshops hosted by the Sedgwick County Historical Society—drawing 20+ eager students eager to reconnect with a fading skill. Instructor Cathy McElroy, who taught cursive before schools dropped it, explains that the art isn’t just about letters—it’s a mental workout that boosts memory, coordination, and focus, much like learning a new language. Participants are also tapping into their personal history and cultural heritage, one graceful loop and line at a time. Open to ages 13+, these workshops run through Friday with limited spots—sign up now before it’s too late. In a world obsessed with keyboards, this is a beautiful reminder that some old skills still hold real value.
