Textiles Care Workshop

From historic flags to flapper dresses - learn how The History Museum & Research Center cares for historic textiles in this Second Saturday Workshop. Collections Curator Ashleigh McCann will give hands-on demonstrations and discuss the do’s and do not’s of textile storage, including when to hang, when to box, and how to appropriately support a textile for long term storage and preservation. This fun and informative workshop is perfect for those improving care for their own textiles or for folks wanting to take a closer look at the museum’s process and special collection items, including flapper dresses from the 1920s, Paris Gibson’s hat, historic flags, and quilts.
