Pre-Civil War Quilts: Secret Codes to Freedom on the Underground Railroad

With more than a dozen beautifully hand-crafted quilt replicas, historian Connie Martin will share how a quilt's stitching and patterns were used to signal plans, warn of dangers, and indicate who were "friends" on the Underground Railroad. Martin will tell fascinating family stories of how these quilt codes were kept and used by her ancestors. Registration required for this Bartlett Public Library program.
