An exhibition of Upper Shenandoah Quilts made from 1840 to 1860, as well as contemporary quilts, will open on Saturday in one of the exhibition buildings at the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace and Museum in Staunton, Va.
In conjunction with the exhibition, which runs through May 29, the museum is sponsoring related activities. These include demonstrations, lectures and films. Admission will be charged for some events.
Daily hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in March; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in April and May. The exhibition itself is free; however, for the Wilson house and museum, where other other quilts can be seen, the charges for admission are: $6 for adults; $4 for students; $2 for children.
