Abstract:

Jessie Elizabeth Barden founded The Questers in Pennsylvania in 1944. Originally an informal gathering of friends to study material culture, the Questers now number over 900 chapters with 15,000 members in the United States and Canada. Their mission has expanded through the years to include scholarship support and preservation of historic landmarks. The Earl of Craven Questers chapter was founded in New Bern in 1997. Ruckart describes the chapter's preservation and restoration projects.
