Home Textile Tool Museum

The Home Textile & Tool Museum was started in 1999 in the small town of Orwell, PA. The original founders of the museum, Bill and Vicky Ralph have since passed away but the museum continues to share their collection of wood and metal working tools, looms, spinning wheels and early textile tools with the public. [1] The museum also hosts workshops on various topics related to fiber arts. The museum is at present seasonally run and closes for the colder months.
