About the American Tapestry Project:
This year, we are additionally inviting the American Tapestry Project to set up a community stitching activity for the public. In commemoration of the 250th, the American Tapestry Project has designed 13 textile panels depicting lesser-known stories about the original thirteen colonies’ roles in the American Revolution. The Massachusetts panel conveys the history of chocolate milling and its entanglements with slavery. It has been traveling across the state to give residents the chance to contribute to this collaborative art project! Once all 13 panels are completed, they will go on an exhibition tour across the United States between 2026-2028.
While you are here, you can enjoy music and light refreshments. Visitors of all ages and skill levels are invited. Supplies and instruction will be provided by the state’s panel coordination team, led by Denise De More. Come celebrate the collective threads of our nation’s founding. Even if you think you know about the Revolutionary period, these panels are guaranteed to teach you something new!
