Imagine walking down Florence’s Main Street in the early 1900s to see women dressed up for a special night on the town. In honor of International Women’s Day, the Pinal County Historical Society Museum will celebrate womanhood with an exhibit of 20th century fashion and accessories.

The exhibit “Cradle to Grave: The Evolution of Women 1880s-1950s” begins March 8 for one day only and continues March 11-15 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the museum, 715 S. Main St.

Explore how women’s clothing and accessories shaped the culture from the 1880s to the 1950s and how womanhood has evolved or remained the same.
