Behind-the-Scenes Tour: 100 Years of Connecticut Fashion
Whether it is a yellow silk dress worn to Lincoln's inaugural ball, or a psychedelic maxi dress from the 1960s, our costume collection tells the story of women's fashion in Connecticut. We'll share that story with everything from wedding dresses to corsets, but we'll also explore how women worked to secure their health, freedom, and political participation, a story that shouldn't be eclipsed by what they wore.
Visit storage and collection areas not normally open to the public, and learn how the CHS preserves the stories of Connecticut. Tours last approximately 1 hour and are appropriate for ages 12 and up. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. Questions? Call (860) 236-5621x289 or email jennifer_steadman@chs.org.
$10 for CHS members, $15 for non-members
