First Exhibit- Walking in the Shoe’s of a …

In the first exhibit (Fall) I chose to group  (opposite side of glass class) the shoes, card case, and in the glass case the assembly gown, 18^th century waistcoat and 19^th century waistcoat, day dress, dolman, and half of the quilt. The reason that I picked these items first was because in the second exhibit excluding the quilt that is in it everything has to do with weddings. I thought that viewers can go through the exhibit as a title of “Walking in the shoes of/at a…” and depending what the object is a person can relate to it how it fits them.  Examples:

Shoes- Walking in the shoes of a…Centennial Celebration

Assembly Gown- Walking in the shoes of A..Woman celebrating the Centennial

19^th Century Waist Coat-Walking in the shoes of an upper class man

Day Dress- Walking in the shoes of a woman an upper class woman

Dolman- Walking in the shoes of a..Single woman- 1884

18th-Century Waistcoat-Walking in the shoes of a Captain

Second Exhibit- Wedding Theme

In the second exhibit (Spring) I choose to group all the items that had something to do with a wedding. The top hat, corset, combination of wedding gowns, the 1850’s wedding gown and the trousseau dress. This would obviously be a wedding theme, along with having the quilt being there too. In this display however, we would display the entire quilt.
