Pre-Industrial Age Textile Research Project

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.
