Opportunity Details
Hellertown Historical Society Seeks Volunteer Seamstresses for Colonial Attire
The Hellertown Historical Society (HHS) is inviting volunteer seamstresses to join a new program that will recreate authentic colonial-period clothing. These garments will be worn by the society’s volunteer tour guides and field trip docents to enhance the educational experience for visitors at the historic Heller-Wagner Grist Mill Complex.
A kickoff meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on November 22, 2025, in the Tavern Room at 150 West Walnut Street, Hellertown. The meeting will introduce participants to the program and outline the upcoming workshops.
The initiative will be led by Robin Marchionni, a living historian and experienced seamstress specializing in colonial attire. Robin will teach classes beginning in early 2026.
(Ahead of the program, she will also present “What Women Wore 1760–1780” on October 16, 2025, at 7 p.m. in the Tavern Room. This free public program offers a first-hand look at the fashions of America’s colonial era, and the types of clothing HHS hopes to reproduce for its interpreters.)
