Do you own an antique sampler or other school girl embroidery made before 1900?

If so, you have an historical record of the education of girls. Please bring it to Sampler ID Day at the Ilsley Public Library so it can be registered for their online database. In return, you will learn more about your sampler and receive a professionally made photograph of the sampler. Walk-ins are welcome. If you have 3 or more samplers in your collection, please make an appointment. The Vermont Sampler Initiative (VSI) aims to document all American made samplers and related embroideries in Vermont. Their work is supported in part by a grant from the Vermont Humanities Council and donations from supporters.

To make an appointment or learn more contact: samplersvt@gmail.com.

This event is presented by the Henry Sheldon Museum and Rokeby Museum.
