Saturday, 3 July was also a presentation day in the old Fort. We could listen to stories informing about the US Army soldiers (their uniforms and weapons) who were stationed at Fort McKavett and Fort Martin Scott. Besides, there was a talk on Texas Rangers and we could see them in action as well.
Pictures from the presentations are available at our FB page.
Another Living History event at the Nimitz Museum was dedicated to WW2 servicewomen.
Do you know that women's uniforms at that time were designed and made by an American fashion house? A curious detail: red lipstick was part of the uniform and was provided by the Army/Navy. How cool was that? Two lipstick shades were in use: Victory Red and another one which was manufactured by Elisabeth Arden.
To learn more - visit the museum on a Saturday and participate in Living History presentations.
I've checked on the Internet - Victory Red is still available.
