SUMMARY:Daily Life in Days Gone By: 'Let's Get a Good Night's Sleep."
DESCRIPTION:The museum will reopen on March 8 with the first in a series of programs on daily living in days gone by. The Hays House Museum will open with a unique Historic bedding display curated by the Historical Society of Harford County Textiles Department. Antique and vintage bedding evokes both a real and imagined connection to family—whether ours or one completely unknown to us—and a sincere appreciation and awe of the hands that created these warm coverings. Bedding is common to all of us\, regardless of who we are\, and bedding handed down through generations\, found in shops\, or made by us\, acquires more meaning with each owner. Visit this year’s opening exhibit to learn more about the bedding of our forefathers and view beautiful quilts and bedding from days gone by. The exhibit will remain on display until mid- April. \nMembers – Free\, Non-members $5 \nRegister Now
