Their beautiful collection of sample weavings, inspired by nature and landscape, is now on display at the Winooski Senior Center through the end of June. Check the Winooski Senior Center for opening hours.

Thank you to Preservation Burlington for hosting us for an interview at Town Meeting TV last week. We had a great time talking about our new exhibit, upcoming events, and what’s next here at the Mill Museum.

We were thrilled to be able to highlight our new exhibition "Investigating Child Labor" funded in part by Vermont Humanities and programming like our weaving workshops at the Winooski Senior Center - made possible with support from VT Art Council's Creative Aging Grant and our family day on April 26!
