You Can Help a Teacher!

Our docents are eager to play the roles of teachers in the Milan Township reconstructed one-room school. But they need costumes!

You can help! Check the back of your closet or attic to see if you have any of the following:

For women in all sizes:

  • Floor length skirts, preferably in dark colors (or dresses)
  • High necked, puffed, long sleeved blouses
  • Shawls
  • Old fashioned broaches

For men in all sizes:

  • Trousers in dark colors
  • Suit jackets in dark colors
  • Suspenders
  • Long sleeved, cotton shirts with or without collars
  • Dress ties (think)
