The National Museum of the American Coverlet

We are here to share our passion for coverlets. Although their importance in The spectrum of American material culture has been fully acknowledged, there is precious little attention given to them. The Museum recognizes The need for an institution devoted to The woven Coverlet and its history, art and craft. This organization is dedicated to bringing coverlets into The light and introducing The public to their colorful textural beauty. The Museum seeks to enhance public interest, appreciation and understanding of coverlets by placing them in The context of events and developments of their day, by celebrating The humanity of their weavers, and by illustrating and demonstrating The methods of their production through a variety of educational methods and programs.
