Curator Phyllis Pellman Good talks with Phoebe Bailey about the beautiful quilt in the exhibit which was made before the Civil War on a Virginia plantation. Bailey is the director of "Living the Experience," a music-and-drama-and-food experience, highlighting the Underground Railroad in Lancaster County.

Dixie O. Rettig brought a group from the Smithsonian for a guided tour of our current exhibit. The Underground Railroad Quilt received a great deal of attention from the group.

Each year the editors from the various quilt magazines at Chitra Publications make a special visit to our museum.

Who would have guessed that the clothing of our visitors would have upstaged the quilts in our exhibit? A group of Masai from East Africa came to see both the Amish quilts and the African American quilts in our exhibit. They even sang for us!
