History talk at Camp Richardson

Join the Lake Tahoe Historical Society on Tuesday, March 13 at in the lobby of the historic Camp Richardson Lodge for their monthly "Fireside Chat."

This month, it is an interesting and engaging lecture about our most intimate attire….underwear! This lecture looks at the history of various forms and styles of undergarments worn by our ancestors. Starting with the Egyptians and going through the millennia, this power point program reveals fascinating facts about corsetry, drawers (panties and undershorts), petticoats, bustles, farthingales, and other undergarments people have worn throughout western civilization. We all wear undies…..come find out the WEAR and WHY of underwear.

The evening features by Jan Loverin, the Curator of Clothing and Textiles at the Nevada State Museum’s Marjorie Russell Clothing and Textile Research Center. After this talk, you'll know more about underwear than you thought possible!

Cost is $3 to attend, free for LTHS members.

Camp Richardson Historic Lodge is located at 1900 Jameson Beach Rd in South Lake Tahoe.
