Eastern National (the parent of America’s National Parks) donations helped to further interpretive operations at Minute Man National Historical Park. The park’s Living History Coordinator hosted several historic clothing workshops to support volunteer participation and the authenticity of living history demonstrations. Professional tailors led these workshops as EN funding covered travel stipends and presenter fees. The park’s signature event, Battle Road, uses hats, bonnets, and mitts made.
