"Quilts and Other Heirlooms" on Display at The Heritage Center

Who knew that the Paris Henry County Heritage Center is displaying "Quilts and Other Heirlooms" through November 6, 2010? They have a display dedicated to Dr. Henrietta Veltman, who practiced medicine in Henry County from 1910-1960 and delivered over 4,000 babies in the county . They have a unique display paying tribute to American Indians that is the handiwork of Ms. Helen Noa Teter. Mrs. Teter was the mother of Heritage Center volunteer Virginia Wagner. Virginia and her husband, Arthur, moved to Henry County in 2008 from Colorado and they are pleased to share these heirlooms . You are cordially invited to visit the Heritage Center to view this exhibit. Heritage Center hours are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday. - Becky Hedges
