Another Look: The Student Perspective

January 21 - March 18, 2012

The fourth installment in our "Year of the Hat" exhibit series is guest-curated by the five members of our high school Student Advisory Committee.  Each student chose 5-7 hats from the Historical Society collections, and wrote text labels explaining their choices.  Don't miss this charming and insightful display!

Right: A sampling of the hats chosen by the Student Advisory Committee for their exhibit, including (clockwise from top left) a lace breakfast cap, mid-late 19th century; a beaver top hat, circa 1900; a fraternal organization cap, early 20th century; and a wedding hat, 1940.

Local Doctors 

Though 19th century Montgomery County was a rural community, it was not lacking in doctors.  This exhibit showcases some artifacts owned and used by just a few of these Montgomery County physicians in the 19th and early 20th centuries, along with photographs and biographical information.
