A Commitment to Learning

The Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum's dedication to bringing local history to area students is evident in its commitment to provide on-site programs at the museum for FREE to reserved school groups.

You can also bring a museum experience to your school with two types of in-school programs: outreach kits and in-school presentations.
