Stover admire one of the dresses on display at the Rothschild House
Museum.
The
Rothschild House Museum
opened for the season May 1 with a new exhibit of dresses featuring
fancy handwork. JCHS exhibit designer, Becky Schurmann said, "We
create a new textile exhibit in the house every year. This year we
decided to feature some of the amazing handwork on textiles from our
collection. The dresses date from about 1890 to the 1930s. They all
feature fancy handwork including beads, sequins, fabric roses and
embroidery.
