Clothing and fashion have always played an important role in defining people, communities, and time periods. Just like today, fashion of the 19th-century said a lot about people including their occupations and social status. Fashion along the canal varied from clothing worn by working-class boat operators and lock keepers and more high-end clothing worn by those who traveled along and visited the canal for leisure. Stop by the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center to learn more about the evolution of fashion and the everyday garments that people wore for work or leisure. Try on replica pieces and get a better idea of what it was like to live in the garments that shaped the 19th-century.
