100 Years of Fashion

Our current exhibit is 100 years of Fashion. This exhibit is the culminating project of Belchertown Historical Association’s participation in a special program in 2018-2019 about best practices for running a museum. We were awarded a grant of $1000 and chose to review our clothing collection, currently organized by color, and reorganize it into chronological order with archival number and detailed descriptions on the item’s tag. We used the fruits of this project for our Arts Matter project called “Fashion as Art” and then transformed it into our special exhibit.
