It encompasses several areas of the museum and includes a great variety of objects, such as sewing machines, samplers, hand stitched quilts and lace. The items displayed have been selected from the museum’s collection to provide a visual understanding of the importance that sewing had for those people who settled in the Cherokee Outlet.
