They Wore
What?! Historical Clothing program at DCP
Ever wonder why our ancestors wore all those layers? What was the
point, and how could they ever be comfortable? Join Darke County Parks
on Saturday, September 10th at 2pm for a peak into 200 year old
wardrobes. After a primer on underclothes, we’ll look at ladies’
fashions in Paris at the time and how those styles translated to
frontier life. We’ll also see the transition in men’s fashion from
ostentatious to subdued. From shifts to waistcoats and bonnets to
pantaloons, learn what it took to be properly dressed during the early
1800s and even how you can go about replicating those styles today
within the living history hobby.
For questions about this program or any other program offered by the
Darke County Parks, please stop by the nature center, call (937)
