Celebrate the Mettawee Valley’s Farming and Quilting Heritage
Edie’s Field and Pawlet Town Hall
Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 1 PM
Join the Pawlett Historical Society for a special afternoon celebrating the farming traditions, craftsmanship, and community spirit that have shaped the Mettawee Valley for generations. Explore early farm equipment, wood-cutting tools and machinery, antique tractors, and other reminders of the ingenuity and hard work behind our agricultural heritage at Edie’s Field on Cemetery Hill Road, across from the Post Office.
View the treasured 1910 Name Quilt, featuring the names of 243 residents of Pawlet and neighboring towns, along with a companion binder sharing details about the people whose names are stitched into the quilt, at the Pawlet Town Hall. Additional heirloom and contemporary quilts will also be on display.
All our events are free and open to the public.
