In 1872, Sarah Ann Tredwell, a cousin of the Tredwells who lived in the Merchant’s House, was married in the parlor of her nearby home. Her complete bridal ensemble, including a peach silk dress straight from Paris, a wax orange-blossom headdress, and earrings, a corsage, and other accessories will be on display. The invitation — received by our own Tredwells — and marriage certificate will also be shown. Included with regular admission. Reservations not required.
