The Way We Wore: Clothing & Textiles During the Revolution
The Way We Wore: Clothing & Textiles During the Revolution
Join historian Norah Van Riper at the Cooke House & Legacy Gardens, 51 Cooke Street in Edgartown for an interactive program exploring how clothing was made—and what it meant—during the American Revolution. From raw wool and flax to finished garments, this demonstration reveals how “homespun” became both necessity and political statement.
Please note: We regret that the historic Cooke House is not ADA-compliant and cannot accommodate mobility aids.
