Circling the Sheldon

The Sheldon is seeing circles! This exhibit, Circling the Sheldon, highlights objects in the Sheldon’s collection that feature circles. Visitors will find this distinguished geometric form in historic military and fashion buttons, a wooden peg leg worn by Jonathan Preston who lost his leg in action during the Revolution, Native American baskets, antique leather fire buckets, a colorful yo-yo quilt, and the historic clock face with Roman numerals salvaged from the Middlebury Congregational Church at the time of its 1989 building restoration.
