History of Home Demonstration Clubs

Joyce Mendenhall, administrative specialist with the Washington County Extension Service, will discuss the history of Arkansas home demonstration clubs in a program entitled, “The Tomato Club Girls,” at noon, Wednesday, Aug. 21.

Cover Stories, an exhibit of quilts from the Shiloh Museum collection, opens Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History. “

For this exhibit, we selected quilts that were created for a special occasion—beyond the need for an everyday bedcover,” said museum collections manager Carolyn Reno.
