Women Defining History Luncheon and Runway Show

Douglas County Historical Society will present “A Spring Parade of Vintage Design” during its annual Women Defining History Luncheon and Runway Show on April 11, 2025 at Field Club of Omaha. Following the luncheon, models will grace the runway wearing original clothing from the Victorian era through the 1970s. Attendees will have the opportunity to view up close these priceless fashions presented by Sue McClain, of Yesterday’s Lady, from Beatrice, Nebraska. Clothing from the DCHS Archives’ costume collection will also be displayed, showcasing how Omaha residents interpreted this period of fashion history.

The day includes a wide variety of vintage jewelry offered at affordable prices, as well as a silent auction and raffle. DCHS’ Women Defining History Award will be presented to Phyllis Choat. All event proceeds go directly to supporting the mission of Douglas County Historical Society, including the preservation and maintenance of invaluable artifacts from our community’s shared history.
