House Tours and Spinning Demonstration

Spinning is not a lost art.  The Job Lane Farm Museum, 295 North Road,  Bedford,  will have two spinners on Sunday September 11, 2 – 4 pm.  In 1768, Boston merchants decided not to import any products from Britain, including textiles.  Ladies here had to learn to spin, which gave way to spinning bees.  Some spinning bees are still held.

Zoe Lawson, a very knowledgeable spinner as well as Elizabeth Skipper will be spinning on September 11  during house tours.  More info is on our website at https://joblanefarmmuseum.org
