Juliana Cerra

Treat yourself to a delightful afternoon of tasty food, charming companionship and a wonderful program that demonstrates the life of a Gibson Girl circa 1895. Modeling accurate re productions of historic costume, Ms. Cerra reveals the underpinnings of both fashion and society. How did women manage everyday tasks? What did they wear for different occasions? Why on earth would anyone wear a corset? From bloomers to ball gowns, the Gibson Girl represents an engaging overview of the styles and etiquette of the late 1890s.

Opened in 2004, the goal of the museum is to preserve and present the history of Hamburg.

The museum is located in one of Hamburg's major historic buildings.  The building began in the mid-1850's as a Methodist Church; housed the Township offices in the mid-1900's and was the home of the Hamburg Township Library for over 20 years.
