Hats

Buttons

During Milton's Sesquicentennial (150 year) celebration in 1967, men were encouraged to dress in 1817 style. This included wearing a hat and growing a beard. In April, the Brothers of the Brush vowed not to shave their facial hair until Sesquicentennial Week in June. During Sesquicentennial Week, a beard judging competition occurred, awarding participant's beards in ten different categories.

Information about the Milton Sesquicentennial was drawn from articles by George Venios, published by Standard Journal:
