Sunday at the Museum - Antique Quilt Road Show
Curious about that antique family quilt in the closet?
A panel of RMQM's quilt experts will be providing a 5-minute evaluation of the antique quilts. Besides getting to view some quilts, the audience gets an insight as to how quilts can reveal their age through patterns and fabrics. Values are not determined by the panel.
Each attendee is welcome to bring one (1) quilt for review and show to the audience at no charge. If you wish to bring more than one quilt, there will be a $5.00 fee per quilt. We would like everyone in attendance the ability to have a quilt reviewed by the panel.

Golden History: What's with all the scaffolding?
1106 Washington Avenue (map) - photo by Patrick Klein

You may have been wondering what's happening with the former antiques/florist shop at 1106 Washington Avenue. The entire front wall has been removed.
Here’s something that may surprise you: that building is actually older than the two buildings on the right (the former mortuary/now Bjorn's Honey and Atomic Cowboy).
In 1960, the Oddfellows fraternal organization bought 1106 and "modernized" it by removing the original ornate brick facade and replacing it with plain brick. The new owners (the same ones who purchased and remodeled the old mortuary) are now planning to re-create the original Victorian-style front wall.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for funding the online collection of historic newspapers, and thanks to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
