Hidden Gems In the Pioneer Museum

Denise Winter, a historical costumer and garment expert, will make a presentation about her work at our Pioneer Museum and the hidden gems she has discovered.  She will outline her process and research that has lead her to believe that a few of our items are rare and unique.  She found a work dress of an early Pioneer woman that outlines its history by the repairs and sewing done to keep it in use.  A wonderful story unfolds as you examine the dress in pieces.

Denise did a great deal of research on three military jackets and was able to document the fact that one of them is the only one in existence!  A great deal of work and effort was done to document these jackets and put together their histories.

Her presentation will be fascinating and educational.
