Wednesday, March 236:00—7:00 PMOnline EventWiggin Memorial Library10 Bunker Hill Ave., Stratham, NH, 03885
Quilts made for use by soldiers during the Civil War are very rare-only twenty are known to exist, and Pam Weeks has studied most of them in person. This illustrated lecture outlines the origins of the U. S. Sanitary Commission at the beginning of the Civil War and examines the roles women played on the home front, and as nurses. The stories of fourteen actual Civil War soldiers' quilts will be highlighted in this program.
This online Zoom program is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities.
