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.
Museum looks beautiful, Amazing place.
ReplyDeleteThe mill is pretty, wonderful tour.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day and have a happy week!
...this looks like a great destination.
ReplyDeleteOh I'd love to visit that museum/mill. I love art quilts too!
ReplyDeletethat is a gorgeous part of VA. enjoy our visits there when in that part. we haven't been to that mall in a long time. i know the Mennonites really are awesome folks (for crafts, shopping, foods, etc). they are never open when we are there, i think we find ourselves there usually on Sunday. LOL!! ( :
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great new venue for the Quilt museum - lovely to join you for a wander, I love that quote.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
