Period Clothing

Clothing for use in the living history program can either be sewn or put together with a few adjustments from old clothes found at second-hand stores. Accessories, such as hats and suspenders can also be purchased in these stores. Use your imagination!

Books that contain patterns from the 1800's can be from most bookstores or online at Amazon.com.
