BLYTHEWOOD – The Historical Society is asking Blythewood Historical Society and Museum members and guests to display their quilt(s) at the Langford-Nord House as the Society invites the community to come view and talk about their favorite quilts and family heirlooms.
The event will be held at the Langford-Nord house, Saturday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
