May 10, 2025 – Decorative Textiles

The making of textiles was mostly done out of necessity for clothing and other household goods. However, decorative needlework, knitting, crocheting, weaving and dyeing was an early American art form. Come see examples of textiles from our museum collection and use the same materials to make your own creation!
