Wedding Exhibit

September, 2009 - February, 2010 at The Hickories

From September 2009 through February 2010, The Lorain County Historical Society will be presenting the exhibit "To Have and To Hold." Designed by our summer intern, Laura Laubenthal, this exhibit features wedding gowns, photographs, and memorabilia from two centuries of marriages in Lorain County. At this exhibit you will see how wedding dresses have varied in color and style, how ornate and simple marriage certificates can be, and how brides wrote their own wedding invitations. The Society is open for tours from 1:00-4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1:00-3:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
