Marriage memories at museum

Wedding season is here and all of Clarkston is invited to celebrate.
The Clarkston Heritage Museum has a new exhibit celebrating courtships and weddings from the 1890s up till the 1940s.
The exhibit features courtship mementos, such as a Clarkston Opera Hall ticket from 1890, engagement party gifts and tales of local Clarkston weddings.
It isn’t a proper wedding without a bridal dress, so the exhibit features five wedding dresses from the 19th and early 20th century.
A display of church record books is also presented so visitors can get a better understanding of the types of services held.
The exhibit is called ‘Dearly Beloved: Clarkston Courtships and Weddings? and will run until late fall.
The Clarkston Heritage Museum is inside the Independence Township Library, open during library hours and run by the Clarkston Community Historical Society.
