Georgia Quilts Exhibit
4.6.19-6.6.19 The Washington Historical Museum is proud to present the new Georgia Quilts exhibit! Whether made from scraps and feed sacks, or from fine cottons and silks, every quilt tells a story about its maker and the times in which they lived. Quilts tell our stories down through the generations. Whether living on a farm or in the city, quilting provides us with a glimpse into our history. Utilitarian quilts, made from old clothes and scraps, tell the stories of people making a living from the soil, cotton mills, and factories. Fancy quilts - made from vibrant fabrics and intricate stitching, bring to life stories of the more affluent. The Washington Historical Museum is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10-5. The Georgia Quilts exhibit is included with the regular $7 admission fee. |
