The Delta County Museum has just completed a new exhibit of historic wedding dresses, the earliest dating to 1907. Of particular interest is the 1928 dress, representative of the “flapper” era, where the dress length was above the knees. Six wedding dresses span a period of 55 years of styles. Included in the exhibit is the 1916 wedding dress of Anna Simpson, daughter of the famous marksman, W. Ray Simpson, who shot and killed the two McCarty outlaws following their failed robbery of a Delta bank in 1893.
