On Exhibit: The Downton Abbey Years: What was life like in Granby in the
early 1920’s. What “modern” conveniences were in the homes? What were the
ladies wearing? On display- many beautiful period garments that look like they
just came off the Downton Abbey set. The Preservation barn continues with the
theme – highlighting our collection of WWI artifacts and a US Navy uniform. A
timeline comparing Granby (declared a Model Town in 1923); United States; and
world events during the 1910’s-1920’s. Quilts on display: Crazy Quilt &
Redwork Coverlet, which was featured in the Connecticut Quilt Search Project’s
book, “Quilts and Quiltmakers Covering Connecticut”. Also on the tour The
Tobacco Barn and One-Room School house.
