We enjoyed our 2016 summer exhibit called WEDDING DRESSES THROUGH THE DECADES which won us an award from the AHSNH.
A very special thanks goes to LINDA LOVERING whose idea for a display of her mother-in-law's wedding dress snowballed into a gala event. She poured her time, heart, soul, and decorating talents into helping to make it memorable. And to our curator KAREN LORD whose vision make it all work.
