Mrs. Arnat at her loomChanging displays of coverlets from around the country will be augmented by exhibits of ‘period’ weaving equipment. Museum visitors will learn who the weavers were, where they came from, and how they lived. They will see how coverlet designs, patterns and structures reflected evolving technology and popular tastes in the decorative arts of their time.

Special events will include traveling and guest exhibits along with seminars, workshops and other activities geared for enthusiasts at all levels of coverlet study.

The research library will be open to all members.
