Abstract:

Becky Phillips, executive director of the Fort Defiance Museum, the home of General William Lenoir in Caldwell County, and Teresa Teague, conservator at Two Turtles Textiles, a company specializing in the preservation of textiles, seek to preserve clothing and quilts from the past as a way of learning about and guarding the history of North Carolina. The two discuss what clothing from the past centuries can reveal, how to store and display quilts, and ways to preserve centuries-old clothing.
