Preparing for the Photo
In order to create a parody of American Gothic, you might consider bringing some of the following items to personalize your creation:
- A smile (in place of the traditional somber expressions)
- An implement of your trade (in place of the hay fork)
- A family heirloom broach
- A camera
The American Gothic House Center provides various sizes of the apron, overalls, suit jackets, antique glasses and hay forks so you can go away with your very own classic version of American Gothic. In case of inclement weather, we even have a couple of cut out versions so you can take your photo inside!
The Center staff and volunteers are happy to go out and help you take your photo with your own camera. But if you forget your camera, we can still help you. Disposable cameras are for sale or you can purchase a 4" x 6" print taken with the Center camera and printed on our handy photo printer.
