EVENT
Happy Birthday, Louis Vuitton! A Lecture on Society and Fashion in the Gilded Age.

Come for a history lecture + light social to celebrate what would be Louis Vuitton's 201-year birthday!
Within the past year, authentic Louis Vuitton steamer trunks were rediscovered in the attic of the mansion, a marvel in itself. However, the contents inside prove just as incredible: fabulous, yet long-forgotten turn-of-the-century gowns and accoutrements.
Join us for a birthday celebration of sorts, and a social/history fusion to learn about one of the most glamorous, opulent eras of US history! The Louis Vuitton treasures and gowns will be on display!
Special Presenter: Emma Wolfe, Penn State University Student & Summer Intern
