Quilt Turn-down: History in Layers

Thursday, October 10, 2019
@ 6:00p.m.

FREE & Open to All. Hear about the makers and shakers of the Mount Horeb area, through the history of quilts they constructed and cuddled. Join us on Thursday, October 10 at 6:00pm at the Driftless Historium (100 S 2nd St) for a fascinating look at (literally!) the fabric of local history.

During the “Turn Down,” antique and vintage quilts from the collection of the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society will be stacked on a bed. Then, as each quilt is “turned down” and displayed, MHAHS Volunteer Textile Curator Marietta Gribb and Volunteer Curator Mary Spaay will share the unique story of each bed covering—who made it, when, where and for what reason? Construction, fabrics and patterns will also be discussed.

Experience first-hand the meaning and story power that an artifact can hold--a great reminder that the preservation work of museums and historical societies is vital and important to keeping our history and heritage alive!

Event is FREE and open to the public; reservations are not needed. For more information, call 608-437-6486 or email For more information, call 608-437-6486 or email mthorebhistory@mhtc.net.
