Costume Exhibit

This the last weekend for the Historical Costume Exhibit at the Captain Bangs Hallet House in Yarmouthport. Captain Bangs Hallet House Museum is the only captain's house regularly open to the public. This sea captain's home provides an intimate glance into 19th century family life. The parlors are arranged as if the captain was just returning from his voyage to China, likely 16 to 18 months duration. His gifts of silk fabric, toys, porcelain, lacquered pieces and tea are on display as well as costumes of the period. Currently there is an exhibit of more than two dozen costumes and accessories from 1825 to 1925. These costumes will be on display until October 5th. For more info visit hsoy.org.
