History suggests that as “big business” started to take hold in the late 1800s, women became more involved in business and working outside the home. However, few women owned companies. Those that did were in industries centered on women, such as home goods, apparel, or personal care.
Today, women own only 40% of businesses in the U.S., making Carrie Burnam Taylor’s business of the early 20th century that much more impressive. Curated with Dr. Carrie Cox, this exhibit will explore Taylor's life and work, displaying three of her dresses, two coats, two bodices, and various undergarments recently conserved thanks to our Adopt-an-Artifact program.

rider/trainer for this clinic but our goal is to build on a solid foundation and horsemanship skills. A 5
Day Clinic gives you and your horse enough time to make giant strides in horsemanship control. Josh
breaks the lessons down into workable, easy to follow steps, teaching you a safe and humane way to
gain your horse’s respect and reach your riding goals.
Horse Level: Broke – Advanced
Bring your horse that has a solid foundation in order to focus on performance and to obtain advanced

phases. During the clinic, your horse will learn how to learn – this process takes time.
