Laundry: The Secret to a Sustainable Closet

During the Great Depression, the typical American’s closest was significantly more sparse than what we see today. How did they survive on three dresses, one coat, and a couple sweaters? The secret is in the care of their items. This program will discuss laundry practices from the 1930s and how we can apply them to today to help create long lasting wardrobes. This program is also a part of the America 250 celebration in Wood County. In remembrance of the 250th birthday of the United States, this program series showcases the history of Wood County and as well as boosting the community spirit through outdoor activities and events.
