I had the dress made specifically for Tea Party (that’s why I did the 4th of July parade), 912 Project, and Liberty group functions.
The Lavenders Green dressmaker does most of her dresses for things that happened during the Oregon Trail, Civil War, and early pioneer history. Re-enactors are probably her biggest clients.
It would be great if Tea Party, 912 Project groups developed 1776 era programs for schools, libraries, historical groups, etc. But, the big issue would be getting through the unions, teachers, government officials, etc. Not that easy to do....but, it would be wonderful to have school programs with 1776 historical figures (Martha Washington, Abigail (Smith) Adams) that could present the philosophy and thoughts of the founders and their struggles.
Taking history into the schools is a great idea. As a matter of fact I have already asked the local school board for permission to bring Katie in for a special presentation. Since Katie was a local resident back in the settlement days, she would make the past come alive for the kids. One board member has said he would arrange it.
