Description
Fort Scott National Historic Site is celebrating Women's History Month in March with living history clothing workshops focusing on mid-19th century women.
Come join with Fort Scott National Historic Site volunteers to learn more about mid-19th century skirt supports and create a corded petticoat for yourself or the fort's "magic room" clothing closet.
Basic sewing skills are required. A sewing machine is desirable but not mandatory as the fort has two machines available.
Please call or text Kelley Collins at 417-684-2484 by March 7 if you plan to attend.
A materials list is available for those creating their own petticoat.
Fabric and other supplies are available to those making petticoats for the magic room.
Reservation or Registration: Yes
