About the event

Curator walk through with Elizabeth Maycumber
Join us for an exciting walk through with archivist and exhibit curator Elizabeth Maycumber.

When John B. Stetson crafted and marketed the now iconic Boss of the Plains cowboy hat in 1865, he created an enduring legacy of style, craftsmanship, and American spirit. Curated by Elizabeth Maycumber in celebration of the 160th Anniversary of the Stetson Company, this multi-sited exhibit traces the early history of this pioneering hat and its creator, along with a magnificent variety of Stetson hat designs from over the years. Highlights range from men’s top hats and sombreros to ladies’ toppers and pill box hats, and other surprises from Stetson University’s duPont-Ball Library Archives and Special Collections, the John B. Stetson Company, and the Museum of Art-Deland.

About the Curator: Elizabeth Maycumber is the Archivist at Stetson University’s duPont-Ball Library. She has master’s degrees in both History and Library and Information Science, with a focus in Archives and Special Collections, and also holds a Digital Archives Specialist certificate through the Society of American Archivists. Since arriving at Stetson in 2023, she has focused considerable attention on the preservation and organizational accessibility of the Stetson Hat Collection and the Stetson Family Collection in the university’s archives.
