WISCASSET — Lincoln County Historical Association will present its first winter lecture, Woven at Home — Textiles in the District of Maine and the rest of New England pre-1840, at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 5, in the Wiscasset Communications Building behind the County Court House on Route 1.
Marjie Thompson, weaver, teacher, textile researcher, author, and vice president of the New Hampshire Weavers’ Guild, will give a history lesson about the use and production of textiles in northern New England before factories made the household spinners and one or two weavers per town obsolete.
