Colonial Craft Day: Quilt Block Art

  • Fraunces Tavern® Museum 54 Pearl Street New York, NY, 10004 United States (map)

Explore the art of storytelling through quilting! Join us at the Fraunces Tavern Museum for a special hands-on program where we’ll decorate quilt blocks while learning about Freedom Quilts and their role during the American Revolution.

Discover how quilts were more than just blankets — they were symbols of resistance, freedom, and communication. We’ll discuss the meanings behind different quilt patterns and their connections to the fight for independence.

Drop in any time from 12:30-2:30pm to try your hand at this all-ages activity!
