What did Moses Sweat, the owner of the Sweat-Morin Homestead, wear while working out in his fields? What kinds of clothing were worn and where? How was it all made in 1786? Reenactors Sara and Bob Donovan will model and explain colonial attire for men and women, piece by piece, and from head to toe.
