Tuesday Trades: She Had On When She Went Away, Revisited


  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Williamsburg, VA USA (map)

Explore the material culture and lives of self-liberated Black women in the 18th century and the society they inhabited. In this new collaboration, based on runaway ads from 18th-century newspapers, see garments worn by our actor interpreters and made by our Millner and Mantua makers. Join our experts for a discussion of people about women who liberated themselves from slavery, and what they wore when they “went away” HERE.
