Changing exhibits are an in depth look at a wide variety of subjects about how Chester County people lived, worked, and made choices. Gain perspectives on our world today with historical collections, contemporary oral histories, and hands-on learning.
On view through March 2, 2025!
Creating identity and memory with quilts is the focus of the the upcoming exhibit at CCHC. Two dozen quilts, most from the mid-1800s, with extensive inscriptions will be on view. Examples include recent acquisitions exhibited for the first time, along with quilts not on view for more than 30 years.
Whether they are called friendship quilts, signature quilts, or album quilts, these bed coverings document for us today the individuals who might otherwise be lost to memory because they are not necessarily recorded in the public record.
