Announcing the `Textile Team’ at the Franklin Historical Museum!

Textile Team

Interested in textile arts, social history, fashion? Or, do you have skills related to sewing, knitting, etc.? Have fun and make a difference as part of the new Franklin Historical Museum “Textile Team.”  

Following the lead of other small museums, we are working to organize and train a group of people to work on creating exhibits (such as the Bridal Exhibit) and also apply appropriate techniques to display, stabilize, or repair garments, uniforms, and other textiles in the museum collection. 

The team might also perform some research tasks or seek grants as appropriate in consultation with the museum archivist and the Historical CommissionHistorical Commission.
