The Vintage Clothing Exhibit at the Jane Young House will be open to the public Saturday, July 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at a cost of $5 per person.

Dresses from the Dodge family, Linda Singer, the Hillyer girls, Ann Struchen, Charlotte Sherman, the Hemingway and Naden families, and many other local contributors are a part of the current exhibit, “Weddings Through The Years.”
