Textile Collection Manager, Marie Shlag provides viewers a guided tour of
"The Gilded Age" period clothing at the Cohasset Historical Society.
Mark Twain’s moniker for the years 1870-1900, “The Gilded Age,” is typified by excess. The upper classes of society gained significant wealth, and rapidly changing cultural norms were beginning, bringing about drastic changes in clothing styles.
The exhibit will feature period clothing such as gowns, outerwear, accessories, and more from Cohasset Historical Society’s Costume and Textile Collection, showcasing elaborate construction, lavish fabrics, color, and trimmings.
