Dearborn Historical Museum to Present the History of Aprons

The lecture happens Wednesday, Jan. 9.

Did you know that aprons were traditionally a garment for men, before they entered the kitchens of housewives everywhere? Or that they've made an appearance on fashion runways?

The Dearborn Historical Museum is hosting a clever lecture on the history of one of the world's most iconic fashion items—the apron—at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 9, in the McFadden-Ross House.

The McFadden-Ross House is located at 915 Brady.
