The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates will be offering another spring workshop in May. Join us on Sunday, May 18 from 1:00-3:00pm for a beginner sewing workshop on historic women’s pockets. Led by Becky Hughes and the Hopewell Quilters, participants will learn about the history of women’s pockets and make their very own nineteenth century detachable pocket. All materials will be provided, but participants are asked to please bring a pair of sewing scissors and sewing needles if you have them.
Registration is required for the workshop and a form can be obtained by emailing us at

This program is funded and presented by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates. The Daniel Boone Homestead is the birthplace of the famed frontiersman, born in 1734. The Boone House, constructed in three stages throughout the eighteenth century, is a 10-room stone structure fully furnished to the period and situated on 579 acres of rolling countryside. The Daniel Boone Homestead is
located halfway between Reading and Pottstown, one mile north of Rt. 422 near Baumstown. The Homestead is owned by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), and daily historic operations are run by the Daniel Boone Homestead Associates, a local, nonprofit organization.
