Visit the Westford Historical Society & Museum for the show and tell lecture, “Fibers of Life.” Their collection of local artifacts, from clothing and accouterments to linens and household items is typical of many New England towns. However, each one of these objects has its own unique and interesting story to tell. Penny Lacroix, co-chair of the Nashoba Valley Weavers’ Guild, will highlight eight textile objects from the Museum’s collections. Attendees will be able to look at the objects up close and in-person while hearing the stories about their provenance here in Westford and how they were made.

Due to the popularity of last year’s program, we are researching and exploring additional items in our textile collection, and sharing the historical value of the artifact and and history of the person or family that originally owned it. Join us for a dive into these Fibers of Life!
