History Stitched Together:
Bronx Bicentennial Quilts Opening Saturday, May 10th
Starting in 1976, Bronx women came together to sew three intricate patchwork quilts honoring the U.S. Bicentennial. Each square tells a story—depicting Bronx landmarks, national icons, and personal memories stitched in cloth. Today, nearly 50 years later as we approach America's 250th, they’re on display together for the first time—starting right here at the Van Cortlandt House Museum. This is a traveling exhibition in partnership with the Kingsbridge Historical Society and RSS: Center for Ageless Living, and we’re honored to host its debut! The exhibition will be on view at VCHM through May 31st. Admission to the exhibition is included with regular museum admission. |
