Opening Reception for "Quilts from the Attic" Art Exhibit

When Mary Oyer moved out of her home at 1628 South 8th Street in 2004, twenty-eight quilts and comforters from c.1910 were discovered in the attic. Had they been made for missionary families-in-transit, for whom the house was built in 1903? Or were they Oyer family heirlooms? The exhibit includes the best quilts from the collection, as well as a few made by Mary's mother Siddie (Mrs. Noah) Oyer.

Opening reception Sunday, March 12, 2-4pm.
