Last year’s celebration of National Textiles Day was such a success, we are expanding it this year. Throughout the entire month of May, we invite you to usher in spring with A Legacy of Silk and Satin: Inspired by the Weddings of Victoria Mansion. This exciting new exhibit will feature wedding vignettes throughout the Mansion interpreting weddings during the time the Mansion was an elegant residence, with Mary Louise Libby’s 1899 wedding gown as the centerpiece. Additional accessories, including some men’s pieces such as a top hat, vest, and coat, will also be on display. Through the month of May, textiles will remain on view in the Mansion during regular tours. We thank Mansion supporter Ruth Herold Marcel for her generosity in loaning many of the dresses and sharing her spectacular collection with us. Don’t miss celebrating spring – and Mother’s Day – with Victoria Mansion! Registration is highly encouraged to ensure entry. Plan your visit online any time, or give us a call at (207) 772-4841 with any questions about your visit.
