I have been a busy gal this past week. I am in Pennsylvania visiting my family and conducting some research for an education scholarship I was awarded by the Golden Gate Weavers Guild earlier this year. My focus of study is pre-industrial tools for home textile. Last week, I visited the Home Textile Tool Museum in Orwell, PA http://www.hometextiletoolmuseum.org/ . What a fabulous gem, filled with the most amazing barn looms, spinning wheels, and flax production tools.
On Sunday, I visited the Goschenhoppen Historians' Museum in Green Lane, Pennsylvania. http://www.goschenhoppen.org/ Another hidden treasure chronicling the day-to-day lives of the early Pennsylvania Dutch.
