Past: Missouri Bicentennial Quilt

The Missouri Bicentennial Quilt will be traveling the state this year and can be viewed by the public at Bollinger County Museum of Natural History in Marble Hill on Friday, March 5 and Saturday, March 6 from 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

This quilt honors Missouri’s 200 years of statehood. The quilt blocks highlight Missouri’s geography, culture, and creativity. Each block features a unique design that brings to life a piece of the history of the county the quilt block represents.

The designer of Bollinger County’s quilt block, Linda Whitener, will be at the museum Saturday, March 6, from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm.

Missouri 4-H club recently finished their own bicentennial quilt. This quilt will also be touring the state and you will be able to view the Missouri 4-H bicentennial quilt here on March 5-6.

Children’s activities will include a Missouri symbols scavenger hunt.

Regular admission to the museum will apply.
