The Home Textile Tool Museum is a hands-on museum offering a variety of workshops and
demonstrations, using tools and techniques of Early America for spinning, weaving and woodworking.
Our displays include spinning wheels, looms, yarn winders, large warping mill, different fibers, a wide variety of hand
and wood working tools, small blacksmith shop, dyeing yarn over an open fire, our 1800's Federal House with special
textile displays, plus children's area for "hands on" and a children's garden.
Outside gardens also include flax, dye plants and herbs. A Gift Corner supplied by donations help support the
Home Textile Tool Museum. Costumed volunteers escort you through this
hilltop museum in the scenic village of Orwell. Hear the whir of a
