Yes, as Rita Frakes mentions the Villa Louis has had an extensive amount
of reproduction carpeting created for the site. Old World Wisconsin has
had carpeting created for one of its buildings as well and I think maybe
Orchard Lawn operated by the Mineral Point Historical Society may also
have had carpeting created
Good luck with your project and please share what you discover
