Apron Strings: Ties to the Past

Sand Springs Cultural and Historical Museum invites you to the Apron Strings: Ties to the Past exhibit, from April 6 through May 25, 2021. The exhibit features aprons dating from the 1900s through the present, chronicling the changing attitudes toward women and domestic work. It also surveys the wide range of design and craft techniques apron-makers have used to express themselves, while still working within creative venues traditionally available to women.
Apron Strings is organized into several thematic groups that address design, historical context, use, and cultural message. Text panels and labels provide general background for each theme.

One of the first structures built in Hutchinson was on this property. In 1873, a wooden building was constructed by J. Fay and was called the Eagle Hotel. By 1888, wooden structures were being replaced with more fireproof brick ones.
J.P. McCurdy and George Updegraff, both Real Estate brokers, built a fine three-story brick building that came to be known as the McCurdy Building. The first occupant was Hutchinson Drugs & Jewelry.
