Dressed Wholly in the Manufactures of this Country

Join Dr. Kimberly Alexander, Director of Museum Studies and Senior Lecturer in the History Department at the University of New Hampshire, for a presentation, “Dressed Wholly in the Manufactures of this Country”: Fashion and Politics in Revolutionary-Era New England. 

Learn about the collision of textiles and turmoil as residents of the New Hampshire colony grappled with the political implications of their purchases in the Revolutionary Era.

This event will be held in the UNH Library's Special Collections & Archives (Room 101), and attendees will be able to view unique historical materials from the colonial and revolutionary periods.

This event is made possible by New Hampshire Humanities, in partnership with NHPBS, with additional support provided by Cogswell Benevolent Trust. By the People: Conversations Beyond 250 is a series of community driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
