Malden, MA – On September 3, the Malden Historical Society will open its newest exhibit, “Decades of Malden Brides,” which draws on the Society’s collections to showcase bridal fashion from the 1880s to the 2000s. Everyone is welcome to attend an opening reception on Wednesday September 3 from 6:00-8:00 pm in the Library’s Converse Memorial Building, where curators Anthony Dickinson and John Tramondozzi will present the exhibit and answer questions.
“Decades of Malden Brides” will be on view at least through the month of September during the times the Converse Memorial Building is open for Local History hours or Art Gallery tours (Monday 6-8 pm and Wednesday 2-4 pm) plus some additional Saturday hours to be announced. Bridal gowns and accessories will tell the stories of Malden brides, their families, and how wedding day elegance has evolved over more than a century.
In addition to viewing the display, the Society invites residents to become part of the story by sharing their own family wedding memories. Bring in photographs, whether of your wedding or a relative’s—along with details about who is pictured, when and where the wedding took place, and the connection to Malden. The Malden Historical Society will gladly accept donations to its collections and can also copy and return photographs. Interested people can bring their photos during the exhibit hours or make other arrangements by emailing in**@*********************ty.org or calling 617-863-6038.
