Visit the Westford Historical Society & Museum<\/a> for the show and tell lecture, \u201cFibers of Life.\u201d 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\u2019 Guild, will highlight eight textile objects from the Museum\u2019s 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<\/a> and how they were made.<\/p>\n

Due to the popularity of last year’s program<\/span>, 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!<\/p>\n
