Brechner Speaker Series: The Fun and Quirky Side of Centennial Celebrations
America’s 250th anniversary brings a sense of pride and an opportunity for reflection. Join fashion historian Bonnie Hansen as she shares authentic bicentennial and sesquicentennial-era clothing and souvenirs from her personal collection. We will look back at fashion, home furnishing trends, locomotives, fire hydrants, and beyond as we explore fun and quirky celebrations of our nation’s birthday in days past. Guests are encouraged to participate by bringing any bicentennial souvenirs you may have stashed in your personal collection.
About Our Speaker
Bonnie Hansen is a fashion historian who has worked as a Hollywood costumer, museum consultant, and lecturer on women’s history and fashion history. She has worked with notable organizations such as Titanic – The Exhibition, the New Mexico History Museum, and California State Historic Parks. Through her presentation, we’ll share some star-spangled stories and centennial milestone memories.
About the Brechner Series
The History Center’s Brechner Speaker Series honors the late Joseph L. Brechner, a longtime journalist, community leader, and television pioneer who is also remembered as one of Orlando’s first clear public voices for civil rights. The son of Eastern European immigrants, Brechner believed deeply in American democracy and citizens’ responsibilities to be informed and participate. The museum’s research center, home to the archival collection of the Historical Society of Central Florida, also bears Brechner’s name.
