FREEDOM — While most people seek to be "fashion-forward," a new exhibit in Freedom allows visitors to take an immersive step back into the fashion of the past.
For their exhibit this year, the Freedom Historical Society put together an exhibit titled "Mrs. J.C. Ferren's Millinery, Dry & Fancy Goods Shop," modeled after a real shop rooted in the town's history.
