Laramie Plains Museum

The Laramie Plains Museum in Laramie, Wyoming will conserve two silk ball gowns. One gown was worn by prominent Laramie resident Mrs. B.C. Daly, to the inaugural ball for President Grover Cleveland in 1893, and the other is a short flapper gown from 1922 worn by Mrs. Alice Hardie Stevens, the founder of the Laramie Plains Museum. The dresses will then be exhibited as part of a focus on the role of women in the community.
