NEW EXHIBITION: Miss Mollie's Voice

Meet Miss Mollie, an enslaved woman who used her skill in design and creating quilts to document her life, communicate with the Underground Railroad, and express unwavering love and commitment to her family.

As the stories of these quilts continue to spread, Miss Mollie is now being heard around the nation.

This exhibition will be more than an opportunity to view historical quilt design. It's an opportunity for you to feel a glimpse of that love Miss Mollie had for her family along with the tragedies and hardships experienced in that time.
