The Cambridge Historical Society and Museum at 12 Broad Street in Cambridge, NY will present its July program, "Rural Luxury in Upstate New York: The Woolen Coverlets of Washington County" on Wednesday, July 19, at 7 pm. The building will open at 6 pm for tours. Light refreshments will be served.

The museum is privileged to have a very special collection of early handwoven coverlets and blankets. Curator, Susannah White, will choose four examples, each representing a different style or technique in weaving.

This is a unique opportunity to see the different weave structures close up, and to learn about their history and how they were made. There will also be opportunities to see other examples in the collection and to observe how the museum is caring for these venerable treasures.
