Interested members will get up close and personal with some of the greatest hits of the state’s textile and costume collection — plus have time with related archival materials, such as the drafts and designs for coverlets made by Bathsheba Phillips Crane of Newfane.

We can also request in advance to view certain items. The visit will be tailored to the number of people enrolled, the interests expressed, and what the curators can share in the time available.

Registration deadline: October 31. We need a minimum of 10 participants (maximum 30) for the trip to go ahead.

To sign up: contact Leslyn Hall directly, or mail a check to Leslyn at 66 Hoover St, Burlington, VT 05401 — please write “field trip” on the memo line. Online registration is coming soon.
