Spring Fair at the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace And Museum

 April 28 North Kingstown, RI

We will be demonstrating rug hooking in this enchanted setting from 12 til 4.  You are welcome to bring your project and join us for the afternoon and take in all the sights.

History comes to life in the Birthplace with an appearance by Gilbert Stuart, always happy to talk about his life.  Traditional music from Farm Dog keeps things lively.  And our master miller operates the Hammond Gristmill, grinding corn on site exactly the way it was done back in 1755, while fresh made Jonny Cakes are available for visitors.

The spring fair is also the first opportunity to see our new exhibition, Embroidered Lives: Samplers from South County and Their Stories.  Enjoy a beautifully curated and thoroughly researched exploration of these vital historical creations and the lives of the young girls whose skills they memorialize.   Website:gilbertstuartmuseum.org
