Join us to hear Leif Halverson present, "Helping Out The Boys," a brief look at the U.S. Sanitary Commission with hands-on instruction for making a bed tick and pillow tick similar to those from the 1860s.

Constructing a tick is not required. Stop on by to listen in, enjoy the presentation, and participate in conversation as ticks are constructed.

This is open to all ages and skill-sets.

If you are interested in constructing a bed tick and/or a pillow tick, these are the items you will need:

Sewing machine (or hand stitching)
For bed tick: enough ticking material for two sides, each measuring 7 feet long and 40 inches wide, 3 wood buttons
