A 1950 article describing Old Sturbridge Village, a living-history museum and crafts center in Massachusetts arranged as a New England town of about 1790. It covers the Village's history and the Wells family who founded it, its craft shops (including the weaving shop), and the effort to make each shop self-supporting. The weaving section describes the two full-time weavers, the products made (luncheon sets, mats, drapery, upholstery, rugs, blankets, apparel fabrics), and a twill drapery fabric, with photographs of the weave shop, place mats and upholstery fabric.
