"The museum has a wonderful collection of colony quilts ranging from their finest to those made for everyday use. Though not currently displayed in the museum, I was able to view a quilt that demonstrated how even their utilitarian quilts made of scraps reflected a desire to make something beautiful. As with most museums, just a few quilts from their collection are exhibited at a given time. But this little museum is not stagnant and some of the exhibits are rotated every few months. Recently they showed quilts and objects from the life of Emma Giesy who is the main character in Jane Kirkpatrick's fictional "Change and Cherish Historical Series". Their current temporary display is on the George Wolfer family."
