“Passing Time” with Chester County Historical Society

November 19, 2013 by Janneken

CCHS LOGOWCHE

 

 

 

Listen live tomorrow at 1:00 pm EST to “Passing Time” on WCHE 1520, on your AM dial in West Chester, PA, or on the internet wherever you may be.  Ellen Endslow, director of collections and curator at Chester County Historical Society will interview me about Amish Quilts.

CCHS has a wonderful quilt collection, featuring bedcovers from this very historic area. Amish have settled in Chester County in more recent years, spilling over from neighboring Lancaster County. I’m looking forward to hearing Ellen share some local context for the history of Amish quilts. Tune in, if you can.

Update: If you missed the live show, listen to the archived edition here:
