The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates are excited to celebrate Women’s History Month with two upcoming programs. On Sunday, March 3, at 2 p.m., we invite visitors to join us in the DeTurk Education Center for “A Stitch in Time: A History of Quilting” presentation. This lecture will be given by Becky Hughes, a local quilting historian who has been quilting for over 20 years. There is no fee to attend this program and reservations are not required.
On Saturday, March 16, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., we will host a quilt making workshop in the DeTurk Education Center. Have you ever wanted to learn how to quilt? Well now’s your chance! This workshop, led by the Hopewell Quilters, is open to all skill levels. Participants will get to make a potholder to take home. Registration is required for the workshop and can be obtained by emailing us at [email protected].
For more information about these programs and more, please visit our website or Facebook page: www.thedanielboonehomestead.org or call 610-582-4900. These programs are sponsored and run by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates.
The Daniel Boone Homestead is the birthplace of the famed frontiersman, born in 1734. The Boone House, constructed in three stages throughout the 18th century, is a 10-room stone structure fully furnished to the period and situated on 579 acres of rolling countryside. The Daniel Boone Homestead is located halfway between Reading and Pottstown, one mile north of Rte. 422, near Baumstown. The Homestead is owned by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), and daily historic operations are run by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates, a local nonprofit organization.
