On the left is a hat once owned and worn by Eleanor Roosevelt. It was aquired from the estate of Henry Osthagen. Mr. Osthagen was both a close personal friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, and the love interest of "Tommy" Thompson. Our Curator believes this hat to be the same as the one worn by Mrs. Roosevelt in the March 1961 photo with President John F. Kennedy.
