Learn a little local history on your lunch break with Bardstown historian & former mayor Dixie Hibbs. This December, join us for a special session on Victorian Crazy Quilts, featuring a display of what avid quilt restorer Dixie has called, "the most outstanding crazy quilt I've ever seen." The featured heirloom piece was crafted from 1896-1904 and features a variety of fabrics and detailed embroidery. 

Our session will be held on Monday, December 9th, as follows:

11 am: 1890s Crazy Quilt Viewing and Q & A
