Join the Milliners and Mantua-makers as we share the story of the millinery shop at Colonial Williamsburg through its 70-year journey from sales shop and museum space to the home of the apprentice trade that it is today. Our story takes us through years of research, corporate archives, and personal remembrances, giving our guests a glimpse into the ongoing processes that seek to preserve the trade skills we study, recreate, and share daily.
