Through the quilts, we learn about local women, the times in which they lived, and their textile artistry. Of special interest in the exhibition are seven applique album quilts made in the 1850s. Their imagery, made from patches of cloth, includes the flowers, fruit, and animals that surrounded these rural women. They also rendered buildings, tools, geometric designs, a memorial, a train, and much more. The exhibition runs through October 27, 2024, and is open to the public on Wednesdays-Fridays and Sundays, 1-4 pm, and by appointment. Admission is $5 per person and benefits the education and preservation mission of the HSRC. *** "When This You See, Remember Me" is guest-curated by Peggy Norris of the American Quilt Study Group and the Bergen County (NJ) Historical Society.
