The Underground Quilt Museum is now open in world famous Underground in Atlanta, GA. The museum tells the story of the Underground Quilt Code and features the quilts of the Farrow-McDaniel family. It features eight generations of quilts.

To learn more about the Underground Quilt Code, check out Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of quilts and the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline Tobin and Raymond G. Dobard.

In addition to viewing some very old and historical quilts, there are many items for sale in the museum including quilts that are sure to become future heirlooms, books, African textiles, art and other handcrafted items.

Museum hours are Monday – Saturday 11 am – 7 pm. For more information, visit http://www.plantationquilts.com/.
