Presentation: “Resistance Through Fashion: New England, 1760s-1770s” with Dr. Kimberly Alexander

Join us for a special lecture by Dr. Kimberly Alexander, “Resistance Through Fashion: New England, 1760s-1770s.”

What we wear – and don’t wear – conveys who we are and what we stand for. The same was true more than 250 years ago as American colonists were gearing up for Revolution. Dr. Kimberly Alexander, adjunct professor at the University of New Hampshire, will share how our colonial counterparts used their clothing to demonstrate their political and moral beliefs. Dr. Alexander will have historic clothing on display and will highlight items from our own Warner House collection.

DATE: Wednesday, September 16
TIME: 7:00 pm
LOCATION: RPL Community Room, Lower Mill, Rollinsford

One of a series of events in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, this lecture is hosted by the Association for Rollinsford Culture and History (ARCH).
