Ku Klux Klan Robe



In my role as chairman of the local county historical commission, I have been asked by a resident of the county to see if anyone might be interested in receiving as a gift a complete Klan robe and hood with possibly gloves to be included.  From what I can tell of examining to robe, it is undoubtedly from the 1920s era Klan.  The robe apparently originally comes from Pennsylvania where the local citizen is temporarily located.  The robe seems to have been stored in an attic in Pennsylvania for some time and could stand to be washed.  Otherwise it appears to be in good condition.  I'll be happy to send the robe and hood (and the gloves if they should arrive) to some institution that has a Klan collection and is interested in adding a robe to the collection.
