Celebration of Quilts
Sunday Afternoon, June 2nd from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The Railroad House will be holding an open house on Sunday, June 2nd, 2019 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for our 'Celebration of Quilts'. This event will be held at the Railroad House Museum in Depot Park in Downtown Sanford.
The museum has in its collection three quilts, plus another on loan from one of our members. Two of these quilts were made to commemorate our nation's bicentennial in 1976: one made by students of the Jonesboro Middle School and the other made by several Girl Scout troops in Lee County. Another quilt was made to honor Lee County citizens who reached the age of 100. The last quilt is composed of hand-pieced red-white-and-blue blocks.
Over the years these quilts have been carefully stored to preserve them, but not on display. Please join us in the opening of our quilt exhibit to view these unique treasures.
