Berthas, bustles, bonnets, and… mutton legs?? Join fashion history enthusiast Amelie Meieran for a free tour and learn about these and other elements of 19th century fashion! You’ll see some stunning examples from the Petaluma Historical Library & Museum’s own collection of historic textiles, including an elegant 1860s evening gown, a hoop skirt and cage, an exquisite 1874 graduation ensemble, and much more! Plus, see our pioneer-era quilts, which were essential items for women making the journey to California. And be sure to catch the rest of our new exhibit, Her Side of the Story: Tales of California Pioneer Women. Tours are free! 2:00-2:30pm Sundays July 14 & 21 and August 4 & 11.
