Marquette, MI – Women have spent countless hours cooking, cleaning, tending fires, and caring for children. They have also created beautiful yet useful household items such as hand woven rugs, colorful quilts, embroidered tablecloths, as well as lace camisoles and clothing for their families. This exhibit looks at specific women in our community from the past and present, both housewives and servants, telling their tales in their own words. It explores a pioneer in the mid-1800s, a Victorian in Marquette in the late 1880s, a farmer’s wife during the Depression and more. Artifacts on display will include a variety of household appliances and tools as well as elegant and everyday handwork from the 1850s to the 1970s.
Opening Reception January 30th from 5-7 pm, and open to the general public; donations appreciated. For more information visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571.
