Join the Riversdale Historic Site & Museum for our Needles & Narratives series, where we explore how needlework can be a window into lives, labor, and movements traditionally left out of historical narratives.

This session highlights needlework as a form of resistance – past and present – focusing on abolitionist activity, the Underground Railroad, and the tradition of Storyquilting. Then, participants engage in an expert-led workshop, learning a new skill in stitchwork and contributing to the growing Riversdale community quilt!

Best for ages 6-12, all ages welcome. For payments at the door, please arrive 10 minutes early. $5 per participant.
