Samplers are a visual and graphic reminder of a young girl or teenager's education, as well as of the talented women who taught them these skills. As a farming community in the late 1700s and early 1800s, Hunterdon County was home to a number of diverse sampler groups. Presentation by independent textile scholar Marty Campanelli. Attendees are welcome to bring their Hunterdon samplers (or a photo of) for documentation. Register. $10.
