Take a glance at some beautiful historic and period costumes and vintage gowns during our Heritage Square Museum’s annual Vintage Fashion Show and Tea©, as we take a look at the costume statements of the “Silver Screen”.

Beginning at 11 a.m., learn how fashion influenced Hollywood costuming, and how it in turn influenced fashion for several decades. With the museum’s historic Longfellow-Hastings Octagon House as the backdrop for the show, models will promenade in men’s and women’s vintage or period accurate reproduction clothing.  After the show, visitors may also sample items commonly enjoyed at an afternoon tea (buffet style), view a vintage clothing display inside the Perry Mansion, and shop in our Museum Store or Vendor Market.
