The Plymouth County Historical Museum has announced a new exhibit, “Quilts of Valor,” to open on Flag Day, Sunday, June 14th. The exhibit celebrates the tradition of handcrafted quilts made by local artisans and is presented as gifts of gratitude and honor to Plymouth County veterans.
Each quilt in the exhibit is an original work, crafted by skilled needleworkers from the local community, and presented directly to Plymouth County veterans as a tangible symbol of appreciation for their service and sacrifice. The exhibit opening on Sunday will include a special program for visitors. Attendees will learn about the history and mission of the Quilts of Valor movement, and the program will spotlight the talented local women whose time, artistry, and heart are behind each quilt on display.
Museum administrator Jennifer Scholten stated in a press release that the museum was “proud to open this exhibit,” and that Flag Day “is the perfect occasion to celebrate the veterans who have defended those ideals, and the community members who honor them through their craft.”
The opening ceremony will take place at 2pm this Sunday, and is free and open to the public.
