Historical NotesHandmade sweater for Fred Rogers by his mother, Nancy McFeely Rogers FlaggLabel TextIn the original shows Fred donned a sweater made by his mother, like the one here. Eventually those sweaters wore out. The crew then had to buy sweaters that looked handmade. A sweater purchased for use on the show is displayed near the Mister Rogers figure. An original pair of sneakers worn on the shoe is exhibited nearby in the living room set.
