“Layers of
History“ at Library
Hannah Linebaugh, Darke County Parks Naturalist, will present a
fascinating program “Layers of History: Women’s Fashion During the War
Between the States” on Thursday April 21st at 6:30 at the Greenville
Public Library. Join us for a revealing history about everything
it took for a lady to get dressed in the 1860’s. Hannah will
expose each layer and the specific purpose of the individual garments
and tell us how the fabric content, print, weave, style, and cut all
disclosed a woman’s class and age.
Hannah will be dressed in a complete ensemble and have many other
pieces as well as a Power Point. She is a member of The Ohio
Valley Civil War Association which is made up of the 35th Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, the 19th US Regular Infantry, the 1st Ohio Battery
C Light Artillery, Birge’s Western Sharpshooter (the best US Signal
Corp unit in the country), and the Civil War Civilians.
Hannah’s from Darke County, graduated from WSU in Creative Writing, and
currently works as a Naturalist Educator at DCP. She has a
passion for history and spends her free time researching, pattern
drafting, and sewing historical clothing both for her living history
hobby and for the Park District. She practices sustainable living
and gardens, composts, home cans, home butchers, keeps poultry, and
practices herbal medicine.
Reservations are not required but seating is limited so come
early! Refreshments will be served. Don’t miss this fun and
educational program and a chance to meet a very interesting young
woman. See www.darkecountyparks.org.
