Community Quilt Dedication

The Centennial Quilt was dedicated at City Hall on February 16, 2010, before the City Council meeting. The diversity represented in the names that appear link the community together with each and every stitch. Signers ranged in age from 8 to 93. The Quilt stitches together Carrollton's rich history and vibrant future with signatures incorporated from descendants of some of its earliest settlers as well as some of its newest citizens. The funds raised by the Society were then put to use to support the Museum and its programs.

The City Council recognized the members for their contributions to the quilt at the City Council meeting.  

We could not have completed this project without your help.  All of you are an important part of this project and we hope that you will be able to visit the quilt at its permanent display location in the Josey Ranch Library.
