Phelps Mansion, 191 Court Street, Binghamton

Drink beer and talk history for History Happy Hour at the Phelps Mansion Museum with Water Street Brewing Company.

A lot of mythology has developed about 19th century clothing and technology…improper shoes lead to infertility, men didn’t wear corsets (so when did they?), and women’s clothing weighed between 20-25 lbs. Textile historian Tamara Gates will present a spirited approach to dispelling or proving common beliefs.
