A little birdie told us that today is National Hat

A little birdie told us that today is National Hat Day. Well, we do love a good hat here at Camron-Stanford House!

Did you know that the use of feathers and birds were so popular in women’s fashion during the 19th century that several species became endangered because of the incredible amount of hunting in the name of fashion? Because of this, several laws, such as the US Migratory Bird Act (still important today!) were put in place to protect our feathered friends.
