Winter in Red and White

On display November 14, 2009 is Wellington County Museum & Archives’ newest exhibit, Winter in Red and White. The vibrant colour red was treasured for its richness and was used in combination with white to enhance the quality of everyday household articles – signature and wedding quilts, clothing, toys and even tableware.

Over fifty red and white artifacts from the Museum’s collection are brought together in one exhibit space to create a stunning visual of deep warmth and elegance. Placed in their historical context, the artifacts offer insights into the vibrancy of our Canadian heritage over the past two centuries.
