This exhibit of antique quilts enhances passages from the journal of my great-great-grandmother, which she wrote during her journey from Kentucky to California in 1864. The Civil War was drawing to an end. Her husband and his brother had established themselves in California beginning in 1852. As a young bride and mother she embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. Lucretia Imogene Lawson, born in Hardin County, Kentucky married Brutis Clay Epperson in 1861. She was 17 ½ in the spring of 1864, when in the company of her husband and baby son Charles, they started across the plains to California. Hear her story and see it illustrated with antique quilts. The quilts in this collection date from 1820 to 1870. MORE> |
