Readington Township - We all know “Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket” but have you ever stopped to wonder how one can actually lose a pocket? How a petticoat is held up?  How the common 18^th century woman dressed? All these mysteries of 18^th century dress and more will be answered as the Readington Museums proudly presents, 18^th Century Clothing from the Inside Out, with historians Bev Altrath and Arlene Soong.

 The presenters will provide a fun and insightful look into what exactly went on under all those 18^th century petticoats. Starting with foundation garments, they will explain and show how an 18^th century garment was worn, including accessories and outer wear for the everyday working woman.

 The Bouman-Stickney Farmstead is located at 114 Dreahook Road in the Stanton section of the township. For GPS use Lebanon, NJ 08833.
