Dressed in Prescott: What We Wore is a reimagined and reinstalled clothing exhibition in the that brings Prescott’s rich sartorial history to life. One of the standout pieces is a stunning silk summer dress once worn by Sharlot Mabridth Hall herself. She posed in this very dress for a portrait in 1900, at the height of her rise to national prominence as a writer and cultural figure.
Another memorable highlight is a late Victorian tableau depicting a mother and daughter proudly admiring their needlework—while little sister and the ever-faithful Fido look on. These vignettes offer not only a glimpse into the fashion of the time, but also the daily lives and quiet moments of the people who wore them.
