Nevada State Parks invites the public to attend an exhibit of historic clothing from the Dangberg Home Ranch’s extensive collection. The exhibit will be during Nevada Day weekend and the first weekend in November.

The exhibit will feature clothing worn by three generations of the Dangberg family. Included are the 1898 wedding gown worn by Gertrude Dangberg, casual and formal clothing worn by Gertrude and her four daughters in the 1920s through the 1960s, and children’s clothing from the 1910s and 1930s worn by the daughters and Gertrude’s grandson, C. Stephen Achard Jr.

A highlight of the exhibit is the christening dress first worn in 1866 by Fred Dangberg Jr., that was recently donated to the park by Achard. Visitors will also see a range of men’s and women’s hats, shoes, jewelry and accessories from throughout the 20th century.
