Today, The New York Times published “Where Do Aprons Go to Retire? A Tiny Museum in Mississippi.”, telling the story of The Apron Museum in Iuka, Mississippi.
This is a huge honor for our little museum dedicated to the history and stories behind Aprons. Thank you to all our visitors and supporters through the years who have made this possible!
NOTE: We recommend reading the article on a full-sized computer to take in the images!
The article was written by Maggie Hennessy (https://www.maggiehennessy.com/) with photographs by Robert Rausch (https://rrausch.com/). The article was released online and is possibly slated for the12/31/25 print edition.
We are overjoyed and honored by this coverage. Maggie and Robert were absolute professionals. Maggie assured us that she was working hard to do justice to the story of our very special museum. She kept her promise.
Through the years many of you have driven or flown miles to make the trek here to our corner of Mississippi. You have delivered boxes of aprons and helped us clean and process them. You have shared stories with us that have brought us joy. We hope you keep coming.
We are honored by the response by many of you. Thank you. It is our wish for the world to have more Aprons! To embrace the art, fashion, history, and overall culture that Aprons bring! If you are reading this, then we know you agree.
Today is VA Day.
Victory for Aprons Day. Validation for the art of aprons. Vision for Apron culture. A Voice for Apron Stories to be shared and lived. Vogue for apron fashion.
Aprons y’all,
Carolyn Terry and Henry Terry
