SOUTHINGTON, CT – From the pre-Civil War generation to the late 1960s, the fashions of Southington residents in days gone by will be on full display at the Barnes Museum later this month.
Located at 85 N. Main St., the museum on Sept. 26 will introduce a new exhibit called “Thread Through Time – A Timeline of Fashion in Southington.”
From bonnets to bell bottoms, the exhibition will showcase clothing worn by locals over several generations from 1840 to 1970.
