The Friends of Schoharie Crossing will hold their May Meeting and welcome Caitlin Sheldon, who will provide a program titled, "Dressing the Revolutionary Lady." As the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Saratoga approaches, join librarian and historical costumer Caitlin Sheldon for a dressing demonstration of fashionable lady's dress from the time period. From chemise to cloak, she'll demonstrate with both images from the era and her own handmade clothes for an engaging discussion of the many layers that go in to dressing a lady. Sheldon discusses and demonstrates the design and clothing style of a refined lady in the American Revolutionary period. This program will be preceded by a short Friends of Schoharie Crossing meeting. Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
