The Victorian Ball

The grand Victorian Ball is an experience unlike any other - the opportunity to descend on a tiny Victorian town and spend an evening reliving the past in decadent fashion. But the night is not just for us and the spirits who gaze longingly on our moment in time - it also belongs to the Mauch Chunk Museum & Cultural Center. ​ The Ball has been the main fundraising event for the Museum for over ten years. Proceeds from this night will continue to help shape the center into viable mainstay of town history. With each event hosted by the Mauch Chunk Museum & Cultural Center, the goal is to refurbish and remodel, bring displays into new light, and keep the center on the up and up for years to come. ​ This year, The Ball centers around The History of Fashion as we highlight elements of dress and social wear throughout the venue - a sneak peek if you will of garb from a finer time - each with a bit of history behind the what and why. Proceeds from the 2017 Ball will go directly to the creation and layout of a new Costuming Section, overseen by Jessica Clair, Textile Historian and Museum Board Member. This new display will bring to light bits and pieces of fashion from the Victorian Era that would have been seen around town - some from the museum's very own archive collection and others from the personal collection of Ms. Clair - carefully preserved and beautifully displayed for visitors.
