Press release from the Southbury Public Library:

2/25/2025

On Thursday, March 20, 2025 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom, join us for a virtual program and learn more about fashionable first ladies.

First Ladies have been admired for many reasons. For some, their sense of style defined their image. In this lecture, presented by accomplished historian and storyteller Valerie Gugala, learn how some first ladies influenced fashion trends and defined the style of their time.

Historian Valerie Gugala has been studying Abraham and Mary Lincoln for as long as she can remember. Her interest in the Lincolns led her to an interest in the Presidents, First Ladies, and their families. She and her husband have traveled to many Presidential Libraries across the country, and they aim to visit all of them in the next few years. Over the last 25 years, Valerie has spoken at libraries, schools, churches, senior groups, and park districts throughout the country. She loves to share her knowledge of and enthusiasm for our country’s history with audiences.

Like all Southbury Public Library programs, this program is free to attend and open to anyone regardless of town of residency. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library. Registration is required. Zoom invitation links will be sent via email on the day of the program.
