The Web They Wove: Women & their Wardrobes during New England’s Revolution (America's 250th)

For Adults

Explore the often-overlooked role of women whose choices in textiles and fashion helped shape the course of the American Revolution. From the mythology of homespun to tales of midnight rides in red cloaks and calashes, costumed historians The Dirty Blue Shirts bring to life the stories of women who waged war on multiple fronts—both domestic and political. This engaging presentation includes reproduction clothing pieces, fabric samples to handle, and a PowerPoint featuring images of original 18th-century garments, offering a tangible connection to the local lives that continue to inspire us 250 years later.
