Join us for our Special Speakers Series featuring History in Action with our fourth Speaker

Connie Korenstein

Connie will be taking us on an amazing journey of Victorian What We Wore: Fashion Memoirs of Pioneer Woman”

In a “living history” presentation, Connie Korenstein appears as Annette Petit Laurent. the first of her family to come to California with her pioneer husband Martin in the 1870s.    Today, the house they built still stands in downtown Oxnard’s Heritage Square.   Annette shares both personal and historic anecdotes and memories of her life as an early settler from France to Pennsylvania and finally Ventura County through fashions of the day, from the 1850’s through 1913.  

A PowerPoint presentation displays outfits that Annette might have worn at milestone events in her lifetime and important events in local and national history. In addition to “living history”, this presentation also includes a live fashion show of Victorian and Edwardian fashions.

Be prepared to be dazzled and awestruck by her fascinating presentation.
