ONE MORE WEEK
TO SEE THE SPATS, HATS AND PHOTOGRAPHS EXHIBIT
AT THE BURROWS HOUSE IN NEWPORT OREGON
The
"Spats, Hats, and Photographs: Father's Day
in History" will be featured through June

House Museum of the Lincoln County Historical
Society.
The exhibit includes spats from the Nelson family,
Siletz River settlers; a coin pouch from the Kentta
family; shaving items from the late 1800s, 1920s,
and 1950s and objects such as a 1900 Beaver Top
Hat, 1900s derby, a mail carrier's hat and uniform;
a leather collar and dickey front and necktie;
pipes, cigar smoker, and snuff jar; and a briefcase
and lunchbox, among others. Greeting cards from
the 1950s illustrate many of the same symbols
associated historically with fathers. Historic
photographs of fathers with their children offer
a glimpse into those early lives.
