Hat Exhibit Revisited

Last fall, volunteer Barbara Head, who has been inventorying our clothing collection, put together an exhibit featuring hats and head-coverings in our collection and others lent by generous individuals. 

Special thanks to all who lent items, to those who attended, and especially to Barbara for her work caring for and sharing these items.

In the Society's large picture collection, there are photographs that show people in formal and informal moments wearing hats.  Below are some of our favorites.  Some have stories; you can click on some of the pictures to learn more about them.
