The Morgantown quilt was completed in 1974 and features 32 embroidered patches depicting local historic buildings in Caernarvon Township, Berks County. To complement the quilt, there will be a display of artifacts and photographs of the many sites depicted on the homemade quilt. “The quilt has been in storage, and we wanted to show it off,” said Zerr. Also featured will be a vast collection from the estate of Florence “Flo” Williams of West Chester, who passed away in 2014. According to Zerr, Williams was an educator and Civil War re-enactor.
