Pull out your Gold Rush garb and join Caren Oberg, Curator of Collections and Exhibitions for a Tuesday Nite History talk and lively discussion about the functional and fashionable dress of early Valdezians. Discover historical examples in the Museum’s collection, find out if corsets were as uncomfortable as thought, and learn how a passion for feathers nearly led to bird extinctions. This talk will also guide you to purveyors of historically accurate Edwardian clothing.
