Friday, Aug 16th 10:30 AM Classic Couture: Fashion & Culture in the 18th Century
Many think that New England Colonists wore only simple, homespun clothing. However, Americans in the eighteenth century were part of something bigger, and displayed that in the way they dressed, ate, drank and socialized.
