Have you ever used your outfit to make a statement? During the American Revolution, people used their clothing choices to make a statement about what they believed. See examples of this fascinating form of communication in the Dressing the Revolution exhibition at the Flynt Center—then visit the Discovery Center to learn more about what kinds of fabric people used to make their statements, including wool and silk. You will have the opportunity to meet live silkworms and learn about how they grow and create silk! You can also decorate a special fabric bookmark to take home with you.
