America 250 Pop-up Craft: Make a Colonial Style Tricorn Hat
Celebrate America's Independence by creating and wearing a tricorn hat, just like our fashionable founding fathers!
Wearing wigs and hats was a popular style for men in colonial America, as well as the new nation and Europe, throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Towards the end of the 18th century, the Tricorner hat, often referred to as the Tricorn hat, quickly became the new style. Tricorn hats were worn by many early American presidents, including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison.
Make your very own tricorn hat out of paper, and customize it however you like. Supplies will be available next to the information desk. Drop in anytime between 10:30am - 6:00pm.
All ages.
