Windham Textile & History Museum & Visitors Center

The website of the Mill Museum of Connecticut states that it "preserves and interprets the history of textiles, textile arts and the textile industry, with special emphasis on the experiences of the craftspeople, industrial workers, manufacturers, inventors, designers, and consumers." The Museum has permanent and temporary exhibits online, which consist primarily of photos. The "Temporary Exhibits" link will take visitors to several slideshows of "Past Exhibits." Visitors should not miss the "Treasures" past exhibit, with its gorgeous quilts and weavings. There is a weaving with the faces and dates of the presidents of the U.S. up to the mid 1800s, as well as a gorgeous crazy quilt that features appliqued stars and a moon in the middle of it. The "Permanent Exhibits" has a number of photos of mills, inside and out, as well as a PDF exhibit catalog, entitled "Sewing Revolution: The Machine that Changed the World." It features pictures and machine details of more than 75 antique sewing machines from the museum's collection.
