“Merle and Phyllis Good are to be congratulated for their sensitive approach and savvy foresight in planning and operating The People's Place Quilt Museum.” — Quilter's Newsletter Magazine “A rich visual history of Amish quilt-making.” – Washington Post “One of my favorite Mennonite quilts, a Tulip Rooster pattern (so called because the principal motif can be read as either), is also the most poignant, since it was made by a dying young mother as a keepsake for her daughter.” – The New York Times “The People's Place Quilt Museum in Intercourse, PA, is devoted to the exhibition of antique Amish quilts—a quiet spot where some of the best Amish quilts are available—but only for contemplation.” – The Philadelphia Inquirer “Illuminated lighting on each quilt enhances, in a soft clear way, the colors and patterns.” – Collector News “Located in the heart of what is commonly called the
'Pennsylvania Dutch Country,' the People's Place Quilt Museum resides in the quaint
village of Intercourse, Lancaster County. “Dazzling quilts.” — Attaché Magazine “For quilters everywhere, Intercourse should be marked for a future visit since it is the home of the People's Place Quilt Museum and The Old County Store” – Fiberarts “An exhibition of superb antique Amish quilts.” — The Boston Globe “The Old Country Store really was a country store for most of its existence. In 1978 quilts and crafts found a home in the handsome building. Its second floor homes The People's Place Quilt Museum.
