Geneva History Museum

Textile Restoration in Your Hometown
2018-10-09 12:00 - 13:00 UTC | Geneva History Museum, 113 South Third Street, Geneva, IL, 60134, United States
Want to learn how to care for your precious family textiles? Eric Severson, owner of Geneva Cleaners and Certified Restoration Drycleaning Network (CRDN) will share his professional expertise. Geneva Cleaners came to the rescue for the Museum last year when a small leak damage several boxes of textiles in the Museum’s collection. The items were cared for in the proper manner to mitigate mold before returning them to their boxes. Eric will share some examples of restoration efforts from our collection that he offered at no charge to the Museum.
This is a Brown Bag Program held at noon on the second Tuesday of each month from September through May. Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch and the Museum offers water, coffee, and a sweet treat.
Admission is $5 and $3 for Museum Members. Registration is encouraged since space is limited.
