REMEMBERING ALAMANCE COUNTY--"Office"
exhibit area
This is a wonderful exhibit of
buildings, churches, and homes in Alamance County from the early to mid
1900's.
==================================================================================
Glencoe Quilt--"Office" exhibit area
This handmade quilt was made
by some of the villagers and museum staff over a period of six months in
2009.
It features many homes in the village and also the
buildings and structures of Glencoe Cotton Mill.
Raffled off, it was surprisingly won by a villager who then very generously has allowed the
museum to exhibit it.
