Shop Girls Day
Inaugural Exhibition
October -December 2020
New Exhibition
Date TBD
Join us for an unforgettable event as local merchants craft couture dresses presented in a runway style exhibit. Historically, Shop Girls Day originated in the early 1900s. Local merchant shop girls wore custom designed dresses uniquely fashioned to advertise the goods and services provided by each business. Two extraordinary dresses, circa 1900, were professionally photographed and these archived images have become the museum's inspiration for one of our special exhibits and event.
