The Gilded Age - Dress Exhibition included w/Tour

November 23, 2022-December 22, 2022

All that glitters is not gold, or is it? Extending from the 1870's to 1900 between the Civil War and the turn of the Twentieth Century, the American Gilded Age was a time of rapid economic and industrial growth in the United States and a time of serious poverty and social problems as well. Glittering on the surface but corrupt underneath. 
The current, popular HBO series "The Gilded Age" focuses on the intrigue and drama of the upper-class families of New York City, showing fabulous women's attire of the time. Helen and John Reily lived at Fort Hunter during this time period, from their marriage in 1886 until their deaths in the 1920s. Eleven "Gilded Age" dresses from the Fort Hunter collection will be on display for this exhibit. 
Exhibition is only available with tour of the Fort Hunter Mansion. Tickets can be purchased online at www.forthunter.org. Reservations are preferred. Tickets are $7.00 for adults; $6.00 for Senior Citizens and $4.00 for children.
