Several contemporary loaned pieces from private collections will be displayed for your viewing pleasure. According to Joey Woolridge, there is at least one "crazy quilt," a design that was popular in the 1870s and 80s.

 

 

This particular quilt has souvenir ribbons that tie it to DeWitt County.

 

 

The quilts can be viewed Tuesday through Saturday 10am-5pm and 1pm-5pm on Sundays. If you'd like to arrange a large group tour, contact the museum at 217-935-6066 or send them an email at chmoore.homestead@gmail.com.
