We invite CMCH members and special guests to join us for the Opening Reception for Pieces of American History: Connecticut Quilts.

This major exhibition explores the history, culture, and craft of quilt-making in Connecticut. About 30 stunning selections from the CMCH’s approximately 150 quilts, ranging from the last quarter of the eighteenth century to the present day, will be displayed alongside costumes, photographs, and artifacts that illustrate the stories behind Connecticut quilters and quilting.

Please let us know if you are able to join us by October 4. Call (860) 236-5621 x238 or email [email protected].  Remarks at 5:45pm.
