Underground Railroad Quilt Codes - CMU.BVOS

(Adults) According to legend, fabric quilts were stitched with coded patterns to assist escaped enslaved people moving along the historic Underground Railroad to find safety. While historians debate this legend, local quilter, Sharon Tindall, supports this theory of quilt codes through her specialization in African American quilt patterns. View her handmade quilts, created with fabrics and patterns typically used in the mid 1800s. Learn more about these magnificent storied quilts and what they mean to our American history.
