The Quilt Museum at Silver Lake

The Virginia Quilt Museum has moved to the Dayton Mill, which is west of Harrisonburg, Virginia. I visited it several times when it was in Harrisonburg, so I was curious to see it in the historic mill.

They only have use of two levels of the mill so they have less floor space than they did in Harrisonburg, but parking is easy, and the location is lovely.

For those who are wondering, there is an elevator so you can avoid climbing the stairs.



In addition to their historical collection, they have a revolving exhibit, often featuring contemporary work. If you are not familiar with art quilts, you might be surprised and how creative they are. I was there in November.









Silver Lake is an attraction in itself, a scenic lake in Mennonite farm country.
