Function and utility were foremost in the artisan’s mind when constructing early American household tools, but the handmade nature of these objects oftentimes allowed these artisans to add decorative motifs like hearts. One such lover of these specific motifs is Vice Regent of the Southampton Colony DAR Chapter, Gerri MacWhinnie, who was married 62 years ago on Valentines Day. That event mixed with her love of American history prompted her to begin a collection of these beautiful artifacts. Join us for a live show and tell about these tools and learn about their everyday uses.
