Tuesday Treasure: Leisure Clothing

November 12 @ 12:30 pm 1:00 pm

On a lazy Sunday you might pull on your sweatpants and throw on your favorite t-shirt, but what were Westporters wearing during their down time in the late 19th and early 20th century? While things have certainly changed, humans have always been looking for ways to unwind. From sports uniforms to bathing suits, what people wore while they had fun can tell us a whole lot about how they spent their free hours. 

Tuesday Treasures is an online programming series showcasing objects from our collection not normally on public view. See and hear the stories behind some of the most unique, mysterious, and impactful artifacts in our community.
