A display of vintage wedding dresses worn by Jerauld County women opened a two-week run at the Heritage Center in Wessington Springs on Mother’s Day. Some of the dresses are simple, some are elegant. Some were worn by World War II brides, some by settlers and pioneers, others a little more recently, like Vinetta Shonley’s gorgeous dress from the 1940s.
There is no charge to see the display, but Jerauld County Heritage Center in Wessington Springs happily accepts your donations as a means of keeping this valuable, non-profit museum running for every one. The exhib is open during regular hours at the Heritage Center.
