The Concord Museum will be unveiling its new exhibition, Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread, on September 29th, and we welcome you to visit.

The Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread Exhibition will highlight needlework produced by young women raised or educated in New England. Created in the 1700s and 1800s, these remarkable needlework samplers present a distinctive picture of young women’s lives in the newly formed United States.

This exhibition will explore the history of needlework and embroidery, its importance as an art form, and its significance to women in the 18th and 19th centuries. Intended to showcase young women’s accomplishments, the samplers also communicate details of their lives and education, their communities, and their families. The exhibition provides a unique view into their private lives. For most of these young women, their samplers are the only objects that survive from their lives. Many of the samplers have never been displayed before.
