Liberty's Daughters in Northeastern Connecticut

The Windham Textile and Mill Museum is proud to present Liberty’s Daughters in Northeastern Connecticut on display until October 2024.

This exhibit examines the contributions of patriot women to the success of the nonimportation movement. It also explores how women’s vital role in the movement may have — or may not have — transformed women’s political and economic roles in the New Republic following the Revolution.

The exhibit will be staged in the Mill Museum’s main exhibit room, the Bev York Room, and feature special demonstrations of how to use preindustrial textile technology and other women's crafts.

Note: This exhibit is part of the national observation of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026.
