Help Support Programs at Fort Meigs!
This lovely earth tones quilt was meticulously machine-made by Katie Thieme (member of ONMHA – the volunteer group right here at Fort Meigs!) It is made from 100% cotton materials and fits a twin bed or will cover the top of a full-sized bed.
The Drawing will be held at our Historic Holidays event on December 14, 2025. Need not be present to win. All proceeds support programs at Fort Meigs.
