Co?ee and Conversation: What Was Worn in Mexican California? Myth Versus Reality

What did the people of Mexican California (1822-1846) wear, and what does it reveal about the era? Illustrator and author David W. Rickman will share how historic Californio fashions serve as an important visual marker of changing societal and political influences, and discuss how we can separate the myths and fantasies (think Zorro!) from the realities. Join us at the Museum for this free virtual presentation and enjoy coffee and light refreshments. If you can't join us in-person, a link to participate online will be provided.
