Folsom History Museum's New Exhibit Weaves The Past Into The Future

Folsom History Museum, in cooperation with Hangtown Fibers Guild, announces the opening of a colorful new exhibit, Weaving the Past Into the Future.

Antique implements help tell the story of textile construction from the 18th century to the present. Displays trace the history of yarn production, weaving, and hand techniques such as knitting, and the exhibit will feature ongoing demonstrations. Contemporary fiber arts will also be represented.

The exhibit runs from March 30 through May 19.

Located in the heart of historic old town, Folsom History Museum includes Pioneer Village, an outdoor living history venue featuring panning, a working blacksmith, and the oldest freight depot of its era still standing west of the Mississippi. Permanent exhibits at the museum at 823 Sutter Street tell the story of Folsom’s part in the California Gold Rush. The museums are open from 11a.m. to 4p.m., Tuesdays through Sundays.
