Hill House Mourning Exhibit

For the last few days in October the Hill House Museum invited guests to view the Hill House  mourning textiles collection.  On the first floor of the Hill House Museum guests were able to a view Victorian funeral scene.  The scene had all the mirrors covered, a daguerreotype of a Hill Family member, and a woman dressed in mourning textiles.   On the third floor the two bedrooms exhibited all of the mourning textiles and the textile on loan from the Hunter House Museum.
