Children dressed for a play in Hillsboro

Title

Children dressed for a play in Hillsboro

Description

A studio portrait of a group of children and a woman, probably their teacher, taken in Hillsboro, Oregon probably around 1890-1895. They are all wearing clothes that would be appropriate for a school play set in the Medieval era, so this may have been taken on the occasion of a theatre production. The children are partially identified on the back of the photograph and include members of the Weatherred, Tongue, Green and Imbrie families, many of whom were prominent in Hillsboro, Oregon in the late 1800s.
