Stephen F. Austin State University (Stone Fort Museum, TX)

The Stone Fort Museum, in Nacogdoches, Texas, will conserve two fragile silk gowns owned by Anna Raguet Irion and Harriet Irion, a mother and daughter who were members of an influential nineteenth-century Texas family with ties to Sam Houston. Custom archival boxes will be designed and constructed to rehouse the gowns upon completion of their treatment.
