    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.
