Reveal and Dedication Program
Inspired by a Bicentennial quilt created by the Milton community in 1976, we wanted to create another to celebrate the 250th birthday of America.
Community members have contributed quilt blocks, and Loose Threads in Milton has pieced the quilt together for us, and now we are ready to share it with you!
Come be the first to see this piece of history created by the Milton Community! This quilt will become part of the Milton House Museum archival collection, allowing it to be enjoyed by generations to come.
Along with the new semiquincentennial quilt, the 1976 bicentennial quilt will be on display in the Milton House lobby for the rest of 2026.
This event is a perfect way to kick off your Fourth of July weekend, and to celebrate not only the history of our nation, but also the history of our community!
