Susan Jerome, head of collections at the University of Rhode Island Historic Textile and Costume Collection, is scheduled to host a presentation on antique samplers at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 25 at the Pownalborough courthouse at 23 Courthouse Road in Dresden.

This event is free and open to the public, but those planning to attend are encouraged to confirm attendance in advance by sending an email [email protected].

Guests can view the association’s collection of historical samplers, which will be on display for this event. Using images of antique samplers, Jerome will discuss some of the definitions and ideas surrounding the word “sampler” and how the term has evolved over time.

The talk will focus on how the history of textiles and technological changes in fabric production influenced the slow demise of samplers in the 19th century.

The proper storage of historic textiles and family samplers will also be covered.

The Lincoln County Historical Association is a nonprofit organization that provides stewardship of the 1754 Chapman-Hall House in Damariscotta, the 1761 Pownalborough Courthouse in Dresden, and the 1811 Old Jail and Museum in Wiscasset .
