SUMMARY:Frippery And Fashion On The Frontier
DESCRIPTION:1:00 p.m. Program located in the Visitor Center Theatre\nCareful hair and skin care routines\, and the desire to keep up with fashion trends\, might be a characteristic more closely related to the 21st century rather than the 18th century. Pop culture has often depicted those on the frontier as ragged and dirty. But is this a fair assessment? Join with the women of Martin’s Station to learn more about what the average woman in the backcountry of Virginia would be wearing in the 1770s. This program will also delve into common myths and beliefs about cosmetic and hygiene practices of the period.
