Grimes-Feagin House |
|
|
|
The Grimes-Feagin House was built in 1842 by
John Grimes for his son-in-law, Henry Feagin. This house is typical of a
home a middle-class family might have in 1850. The inside of the house is furnished with period pieces. This is also where you can watch as costumed interpreters are engaged in quilting. |
The day I was there, Bobbie Holland was busy quilting spreads that would be used in the other houses of Westville. The quilting room is a good example of what a parlor may have looked like in a home such as this in 1850.

demonstration quilt which shows patters that were popular in 1850. Both of the bedrooms of the house have beds with quilts that were quilted here in Westville using patterns that were typical of the period. |
