What about wearing bathing trunks made of wool? In the late 1800s, women wore bathing suits that were more like capri pants and dresses, while the men wore wool trunks, according to Stephanie Foley, curator of the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum. A look back at local sports and leisure activities is the premise of Fun and Games in W-S, which runs until Aug. 29 at the museum. The exhibition covers all four seasons -- spring, summer, fall and winter. Most of the organized sports children and adults played back in the day -- lacrosse, hockey, baseball and lawn bowling -- remain big today, according to Foley. carpet balls, picknicking One of the leisure activities people took part in back in the 1800s was carpet balls, which is not played much today. The premise of carpet balls was to take the cue ball and with it, knock a fellow competitor's ball out of play. Picnicking was also very popular. It would enable women to show off their cooking skills, "which was important for hooking a husband," according to Foley. Going on a picnic also acted like a group date, as men and women were not allowed to be alone until married. The exhibition also includes artifacts and photos.
