The Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park hosts a special clothing exhibit this weekend. Women's, men's and children's clothing from the 1890s through the 1960s will be on display throughout the Dangberg home.
Featured is clothing worn by Henry Fred Dangberg, Jr., and his wife, Gertrude. Some of Mrs. Dangberg's jewelry will be showcased, along with a silver dresser set dating from about 1900.
In addition, clothing worn by the Dangbergs' four daughters throughout their lifetimes will be on display. Special items include evening gowns from before World War II, and selected hats, gloves and other accessories. A collection of baby clothes from the early 1930s was recently donated to the park by Steve "Dinky" Achard, and will make its debut during the exhibit.
The exhibit starts today and runs through Sunday. Hours are noon to 4 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults, children 12 and under are free. The inside of the house is a little cool this time of year, so dress accordingly. The park is located at 1450 Highway 88, one-half mile south of the Carson Valley Swim Center.
