Perukes, Powder, Politics, and Patriots: Men’s Hair and Wigs in 18th-century England and America

10.9.26 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

Why did men in the 1700s wear wigs? What were they made of, how were they styled, and who wore what? How would the hair care routine of George Washington compare to that of a low-ranking British soldier? How would it compare to Martha Washington’s? Join living history interpreter and wig maker, Audrey Stuck-Girard, as she demonstrates trends and styling techniques used by wigmakers and hairdressers in the 18th century.
