Dressed for the 1800s
|
What a great morning! I dressed up in my Civil War garb and headed to Cal-Mum Elementary for their career day. My dress is a tradional Civil War blue and black plaid, buttoned in the front, collarless, with long sleeves buttoned at the cuff. The buttons are tradition in design in blue to match the plaid pattern of the dress. My shoes were black, tied up the front to the ankle. With old photos in hand, I shared the history of the Genesee Country Inn and Mumford, New York. The kids had a great time and I so enjoyed seeing them again. The history of this area is so rich from 1796 when Mumford was founded. I have these great photos of McKenzies's Corner, the Donnelly House, the first Presbyterian Church of Mumford and School House 8. The dirt roads are lined with full mature trees while horses walk along with riders dressed in jackets and hats. It was a walk down history lane. The Ms. McCorry took a few pictures of me with the students, and I was invited back in April to participate in their ice cream factory sale. My contributions... chocolate chip cookies, of course. Sounds like fun. |
