Baskets Out Of The Attic: a Discovery and Documentation Event

Please come to Warner Saturday, March 26 for Baskets Out of the Attic, which will be held in the Warner Town Hall at 5 East Main St. from 9:00 - 3:00.

Do you have old baskets tucked away in your attic or closets?  Whether you know their history or are curious to find out more about them, please come to this day-long event.  Experts will be on hand to tell you more about your baskets.  They will also complete a documentation form for you, including a photo.

If you plan to attend, you are encouraged to bring your entire basket collection to the event.  Our experts will select three of your most interesting baskets to evaluate at a cost of $5.00 per basket.  Monetary appraisals will not be given.

Providing their expertise for Baskets Out of the Attic will be Gaby Pelletier, scholar on northeastern Native American baskets and traditions and Chris Bullock of The Wandering Bull, LLC.  Chris is an authority on contemporary American Indian crafts.

Baskets Out of the Attic is sponsored by Hopkinton Historical Society, Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, Warner Historical Society, and Wijokadoak, Inc. in preparation for the 2011 Summer Exhibit, Along the Basket Trail, which will be held jointly at the three museums.  The exhibits open May 1 and will include a series of speakers and demonstrations throughout the summer at each location.
