CHECK OUT THE CRAZY QUILT
a 200+ year Crazy Quilt handed down from generation to generation with various amazing embroidered patches
from the Adel Fredenburg family.
Crazy Quilt - block-style patchwork quilt became a "distinct expression" of nineteenth-century America.
Uranium glass is glass which has had uranium, usually in oxide diuranate form, added to a glass mix before melting for color.
In 1789, Martin Klaproth discovered uranium. He later experimented with the use of the element as a glass colourant. Uranium glass became popular in the mid-19th century, with its period of greatest popularity being from the 1880s to the 1920s.
The easiest way to tell if uranium glass is real is to look at it under UV light. Real uranium glass will glow bright green under the light. The brightness of the colour will depend on the uranium content, but if glass glows under UV, it is unmistakably uranium glass.
VICTORIAN WOMEN AT LILIAN PLACE
Learn the history of Victorian women of Daytona Beach.
Women in the Victorian society had one main role in life, which was to marry and take part in their husbands' interests and business. Before marriage, they would learn housewife skills such as weaving, cooking, washing, and cleaning, unless they were of a wealthy family.
