A part of our Good Stories About Great Stuff lecture series. Join us every Monday at 1:00 in the Hennage to hear stories behind some of Colonial Williamsburg's treasures directly from our experts.
The clothing we wear in medical settings today can shape our experiences as patients. But what did patients wear in the eighteenth century? In this collaborative deep dive, Margaret Perry (Apothecary) and E. Katherine Hargrove (Milliner-Mantua Maker) explore how Historic Trades research can tell us more about the experiences of individuals who sought mental health treatment at Williamsburg's Public Hospital.
