America 250 Event at Hope Lodge: Flax to Linen Demonstration

To celebrate America's Semiquincentennial or 250th Birthday, we are proud to offer a free program: "Flax to Linen".

Did you know…
Flax was an important crop in colonial America. It was cultivated for making durable, everyday textiles before the dominance of cotton in the 19th century. Flax was grown in many colonies, including Virginia, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, as a fundamental household crop. This event shows how flax was planted, harvested, and processed into stricks for spinning fiber into linen and weaving it into linen cloth. There will be samples of spun and woven linen used in the presentation.
