Historic Quilt To Be Featured In Shelton Library Programs

The Plumb Memorial Library in Shelton will be hosting a four-part series of programs celebrating Shelton’s past through the renowned Shelton Bicentennial Quilt. 

The series will begin Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. and run for four weeks.

The program is co-sponsored by the Plumb Memorial Public Library and the Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter, NSDAR.

The Bicentennial Quilt contains 44 squares in a quilt about 112 inches wide and 71 inches long. It was created in 1976 to show a history of Shelton over the years. It will be used to depict the four topics of the series: the history of recreation, farming, manufacturing and transportation.

Light refreshments will be served and registration is required.

To register, please contact the Plumb Memorial Library at (203) 924‑1580 and RSVP is appreciated.
