Details

Join Illinois Humanities Road Scholar Speaker Erika Holst as she shares her presentation The Life Cycle of Clothing. Americans invested a tremendous amount of labor into making and maintaining their wardrobes during the 19th century. This presentation will explore the life cycle of clothing during the 1800s: how it was created, mended, remade, washed, and ultimately recycled. This presentation will highlight examples of garments and artifacts from the Illinois State Museum's collections.

FREE, Registration Required.

This event is being produced in partnership with Illinois Humanities.
