ROOM: Friends of the Library Program Room
DESCRIPTION:Underpinning the sensationalism of battle reports and broadsid
 es is the often-silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. The cho
 ices they made every day about fashion and fabric consumption and creation
  drove the course of Revolution just as determinedly as any congress. In c
 ommemoration of our nation's 250th anniversary, we recall local lives
  dressed in fulled wool or spun silk that continue to inspire creativity, 
 resilience, and empathy today. From the mythology of homespun to legends o
 f midnight rides in red cloaks and calashes, the Dirty Blue Shirts share s
 tories of women who waged war on multiple fronts and provide insights abou
 t what these revolutionary women wore during the era. The program is prese
 nted by costumed historians and includes reproduction clothing pieces and 
 fabric samples as well as a PowerPoint presentation with images of extant 
 originals.Sponsored in partnership with the Simsbury 250th Celebration Com
 mittee.
