Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Army!

On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress established the Continental Army, marking the birth of what would become the world's most powerful land force.

For over two centuries, the men and women of the U.S. Army have answered the call to serve with courage, honor, and unwavering dedication. From defending our freedoms to providing humanitarian aid around the globe, their sacrifice and commitment have shaped our nation's history.

Today, we salute all soldiers—past, present, and future—who have worn the uniform with pride.

Thank you for your service. 🎖️

Honor the legacy and service of the U.S. Army, from its 1775 founding to today, with traditions, ceremonies, and ways to thank soldiers on Army Birthday.

National Sewing Machine Day is celebrated every year on June 13th, honoring the invention that revolutionized textile work and transformed both industry and home life. This day recognizes the ingenuity of inventors like Elias Howe and Isaac Singer, whose innovations made sewing faster, more efficient, and accessible to millions.

The sewing machine changed the world by turning what was once painstaking hand-stitching into a mechanized process, enabling the mass production of clothing and textiles while also empowering individuals to create, mend, and customize their own garments at home. From intricate quilts to everyday repairs, the sewing machine became an essential tool in households and workshops alike.

National Sewing Machine Day is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the craft of sewing—whether you're a seasoned seamstress, a quilting enthusiast, or someone just learning to thread a needle. It's a day to dust off that machine, start a new project, share sewing skills with others, or simply appreciate the artistry and practicality this invention brought into our lives. Many people mark the occasion by taking on a special sewing project, teaching someone to sew, or exploring vintage machines and the stories they hold.

Whether you're stitching heirloom pieces, upcycling old fabrics, or creating something entirely new, June 13th reminds us of the creativity, resourcefulness, and connection that sewing brings to our communities.

Come on by the museum during open hours Wednesday-Saturday 10am-4pm and see our sewing machine that is on display.

Celebrate National Sewing Machine Day by honoring the invention that transformed sewing, fashion, and DIY crafts, inspiring creativity and handmade style.
