The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society will host its Coffee Hour on Thursday, September 11 at 10am, with a talk by Carol Sones Shetler on the cultural history of handkerchiefs.  Carol Sones Shetler is a retired writer, having written for the Muncy Luminary and West Branch Life for twenty-three years. Handkerchieves are sometimes employed in the creation of quilts. Often embellished with embroidery or edged with lace, crocheting or tatting, they are not only a necessity, but also provided a fashion statement for the person who carried it.

The lecture will be held in the Community Room of the Taber Museum and is free and open to the public. Light refreshments are served.   The museum is located at 858 West Fourth Street, Williamsport. There is ample parking behind the museum as well as on the street. For further information about the museum, please visit our website at www.tabermuseum.org or call 570.326.3326.
