A gathering place...
Social gathering places for women were less available than for men at Custer. It was not acceptable for nice women to enter saloons or gaming establishments. Most of the socializing for women took place at socials held in homes, at the post office, stage stop or at one of the general stores. It was an opportunity to discuss events, recipes and children. As the number of families grew in Custer, more family oriented activities took place. People traveled from neighboring mines to dances, programs and socials. Few women owned or ran establishments, but Custer had several women postmistresses.| HM Number | HM22SB |
