Patriotic & Antique Quilt Display at the Harlin Museum Honoring America’s 250th Birthday
January 15, 2026 @ 12:00 pm - May 9, 2026 @ 4:00 pm
In celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the Harlin Museum of West Plains is pleased to present a Patriotic and Antique Quilt Display, on exhibit January 15–February 14, 2026.
This special non-competitive show honors both our nation’s rich history and the resilient, resourceful Ozark women who crafted quilts from scraps—creating lasting works of beauty and comfort.
An opening reception featuring an antique “bed turning” presentation will be held on Saturday, January 17, from 2–4 p.m. Visitors are invited to enjoy the display, hear the stories behind the quilts, and celebrate a cherished American art form.
Entry Information:
Quilts and their accompanying stories may be entered February 8–11, 2026, from noon to 4 p.m. Arrangements can be made for early drop-off if needed. There is no fee to display quilts, though donations are always welcome and appreciated to support the museum’s programs.
Pickup Dates:
February 14–15 | Noon–4 p.m.
Join us in honoring our nation’s heritage and the creative spirit of Ozark women through this meaningful and patriotic exhibition.
