Colonial Costumes
The Members of the Shelton History Center made their own historical costumes for the Mayfest celebration.I saw several of the fashionable hoop skirts of the 1700's.

Seeing colonial period costume makes you think of what it was really like back then.
The ladies in long dresses and bonnets, and the guys in their knickers and vests, with buckled shoes.
