Join us for this year's Textile Day at Carriage Hill MetroPark's Historic Farm!
There were many different types of fibers utilized in the 1880s. The process of producing textiles was both diverse and efficient.

Watch as volunteers and staff demonstrate textile machinery used to create fabric and clothing in the 19th century. Learn about natural dyes.
