Textile Exhibit
Proves Interesting
Over 150 people visited the first exhibition by the newly i n c o r p orated Rappahannock County Historical Society held over the Fourth of July weekend at the County Library. The expressions of satisfaction were numerous and many were in a position to be real critics as their forebears were the makers of many of the exquisitely designed pieces sent in for exhibition. The Library on Sunday afternoon was like a well established antebellum spinning hall where all phases of spinning and looming from raw fabrics were to be seen. From the colonial type hoop-skirted Mrs. Jesse Ward to the giant Hitt loom, loaned by the Robert Johnsons, one got the idea that the Historical Society was starting out to do what they were organized to do. A lot of credit should be given to the exhibit committee and hostesses, but more to those dozen or more contributors who have had the foresight to preserve these now rare items of a very common craft practiced in every home a century ago.
