The Museum of Riverside’s Heritage House will celebrate the Museum’s 100th Anniversary with a special exhibition, “Roaring Riverside: Fashions of the 1920s.” Opening Friday, the exhibition is a celebration of the light-hearted fashions that Riverside women wore throughout the decade of the 1920s.

This exhibition features dresses and accessories worn by fashionable Riversiders, including Minerva Cook Estudillo, Frances Tetley Harthan, Elizabeth K. Magarigal, Lela Lockwood Noble, and Lydia Ryan. These women may have worn their splendid fashions to grace the halls of the Mission Inn, attend a show at the Loring Theater, or spend an evening with friends during the 1920s. The dresses are richly beaded and sparkle in a way that reflects a time in history that was carefree and fun-filled for many.

The Museum of Riverside began with a party on Dec. 12, 1924. Today, the Museum recognizes 100 years with an exhibition of dresses and accessories that celebrate the 1920s women of Riverside. Looking back to its beginning, the Museum commemorates the influence of an era that is still inspirational.

Free, family-friendly activities:

  • Friday, Sept 13, 2024, 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.: Special tour with the Curator
  • Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024, noon to 3 p.m.: Special musical performances by Riverside Arts Academy students and Charleston dance lessons with guest instructor Tatyana Alford.

The exhibition “Roaring Riverside: Fashions of the 1920s” will close in January.

The exhibition is supported by the City of Riverside.
