The Exhibition of Quilts and Fine Woodworking is an outstanding example of two crafts coming together. The Museum exhibits about 40 quilts on the walls and the woodworkers display their finest efforts (furniture, clocks, bowls, etc.) in the exhibition space. The quilts and the wood together are very complimentary. There will be free "white glove tours" of the quilts in the exhibit from 10:00 a.m. to noon each Saturday the exhibit is open. No reservations are necessary.
