The program “Apron On/Apron Off” will be featured at the Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales presentation at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, at the First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles. The program will be held in the social hall; parking and entry are on Laurel Street.

Aprons are generally viewed as a garment worn by housewives in the 1950s, but this humble piece of clothing has been worn by men and women for many purposes over the centuries. Aprons can protect a garment or indicate the status of a person in an organization. Irene Wyman and Kathy Estes of the Historical Society will share a slideshow presentation and bring aprons from the Society’s extensive collection. These include nail aprons from local lumber companies, children’s pinafores and women’s aprons from the practical to the frilly. Audience members are encouraged to wear or bring an apron from home and share their memories of that apron.

History Tales is free and open to the public. For more information, call the Clallam County Historical Society’s office at 360-452-2662 or e-mail artifact@olypen.com.
