Shenandoah Valley Tapestry—A Journey Through Time on Display
Belle Grove is hosting the Shenandoah Valley Tapestry—a community stitching project that was spearheaded in 2015 by the Winchester Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and the Multicultural Club College of Frederick County. It depicts in embroidery the painting Winchester and Frederick County, Virginia by Page Huff Dillon, which was in turn, was inspired by the book Defend the Valley by Margaretta Barton Colt. The tapestry was unveiled in 2018 and has been on display at Handley Regional Library. It is now traveling to various locations around the region. It magnificently and meticulously illustrates historic sites in Winchester and Frederick County, including Belle Grove. Eighty-one stitchers of all skill levels and ages, from across five states and from abroad worked on the Tapestry. Through community outreach events, 1,400 community members also made one stitch in this unique artwork. Pictured here is Belle Grove in petite pointe by Diane E. Trobaugh. The Tapestry is on view on the lower level of the Beverley B. Shoemaker Welcome Center during Belle Grove’s open hours through December 30, 2020. Guests are also invited to "take a stitch" in a new embroidery piece depicting Belle Grove's historic Plantation Office and Store building.

The Board of Directors and staff of Belle Grove Plantation are grateful for the ongoing support of our donors and members during this challenging time. We also thank the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation for funding through its Historic Sites Emergency Grant Fund, Virginia Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities for funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act Humanities Relief Grant Program, Rebuild VA Grant Fund, the Frederick County Economic Development Authority's Forward Frederick COVID-19 Grant, and the Peck-Stacpoole Foundaton.
