Description

Get your creativity flowing with our Sit and Stitch Program. Sit with a ranger as we weave our way through the history of women's textiles on the canal and beyond! Learn about the cultural importance of textiles and how it has sewn into the very fabric of American history. Pick up a new skill, refresh your old knowledge with our provided supplies, or even pull up a chair and bring your own project work to on!

The program will take place at the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center.
