Ladies Bonnet Workshop

Join us at the park for a ladies’ bonnet workshop!

In this program, we’ll spend the morning creating the framework for your fashion bonnet, break for lunch, and then spend the afternoon sewing the materials together to bring your bonnet to life! Refreshments will be provided.

Finished bonnets are perfect for wearing at living history events, reenactments, heritage festivals, and period-themed celebrations. They also make a wonderful accessory for costumes, educational programs, or historical demonstrations, or to wear to a party/church. 

Registration required: email Haley Richardson to reserve your place.
