In this talk presented by the Sheldon Museum via ZOOM, Ellery Foutch, Assistant Professor in the American Studies department at Middlebury College, will discuss memorial wreaths and mourning objects created in Vermont in the 1800s. Crafted from hair, fabric, and materials considered precious to the deceased, these artifacts offer a window into the lives and emotions of Vermonters of the past. Some of the hairwork examples are from the Sheldon Museum's collection.
