Fashion Archives and Museum of Shippensburg University and Lunch at Gettysburg

Experience a unique and inspiring day at the Shippensburg University Fashion Archives and Museum where we’ll explore a 15,000-item collection consisting of clothing and accessories worn by men, women and children, dating from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Enjoy history and cultural storytelling as we explore how clothing and design reflect identity, social change, and the evolving role of fashion across time. Your day will include a guided visit to the Shippensburg University Fashion Archives and Museum, with time to view curated collections and learn from the stories behind the garments and artifacts. During the return to campus, students will get lunch on their own in Gettysburg with time to also explore the downtown. Moderate walking, with opportunities to sit, is expected during the museum visit and associated activities, including walking throughout exhibit spaces, campus areas, and in downtown Gettysburg.
