Antique Sewing Machines

We are pleased to host the Vintage Sewing Machine Enthusiasts of Pioneer Valley on Sunday, October 5 starting at 1:30 pm.

The group of vintage sewing machine enthusiasts was founded in 2023 by Danielle McCauley and Mary Gelezunas and is dedicated to the preservation, restoration and celebration of vintage sewing machines. It is an effort to revive the art of sewing and connect people to craftsmanship and heritage.

At 1:30 pm Sue Cluff will share the development of the home sewing machine from the treadle to power. Then various models of machines will be on display, and their owners will share the history and operation of the Singers, Wheeler and Wilsons, and Montgomery Wards they have collected.

This program is open to the public free of charge though donations are appreciated. The museum is open from 1–3:30 pm with light refreshments. Click here for more information about the museum.
