Aprons of the ages

The city’s own link to the past will be putting forward a new exhibit next week, an in-depth look at an everyday household item.

Elgin Depot Museum organizers have done the research and set the stage with a collection of aprons spanning generations. The historic center will open its doors June 13 to share its assortment of storied garbs.

“This is just a little glimpse, there’s a lot out there, a lot that’s really interesting,” curator Pattie Russell said.
