The community is invited to the third in a series of Historical Lectures at the Banning Museum located at 401 East "M" Street, Wilmington, CA 90744. The lecture will begin at 10:00 a.m. in the historic carriage barn on Saturday, June 23, 2012.
Segment one features models wearing Victorian era day fashions from 1865-1889. You will enjoy seeing the attire that would have been worn for shopping, visiting, church, riding and working around a ranch; and evening fashions worn for dinner parties and balls. In segment two, witness proper etiquette between a man and a woman with a question and answer session afterwards. Segment three's models will be wearing Victorian era fashions depicting the years 1890-1912. Experience a day in the gay 90s and the opening years of the 20th century. Then come back with us to the Titanic on the first few days of her maiden voyage. Witness the fun of first class when there were no thoughts of disaster.
