​Museum Exhibits

Aprons of the Past

Grapevine, TX Researched, provided photos and copy, and created reproduction aprons. Because of the large windows in the exhibit area it would have been harmful to antique aprons to display them. By using reproduction aprons we didn't have to worry about damage either from the sun or the public when they were handled.
