Join Travellers Rest in celebrating Spinning and W Join Travellers Rest in celebrating Spinning and Weaving Week October 5-11th. The Weaving House, one of the historic structures on site, houses an early 1800s working 4-harness loom with a provenance from Cheatham County, Tennessee. ⁠ ⁠ The following information is found in the John Overton Collection at the TN State Library and Archives: ⁠ A memorandum written by Judge Overton indicates that in 1821 a slave named Matilda was hired to Joseph Wright to work as a weaver. The agreement stated that as payment for Matilda’s work Overton would receive $22 in weaving, Wright would provide her clothing by “...furnishing her with two full suits of clothes suitable to the season,” and she would be taught how to weave “plain coverlets.” At the end of her service, Wright would provide Overton with a loom for Matilda of the kind to which she had become accustomed. ⁠ ⁠ #historictravellersrest #historictrades ⁠
