The National Museum of the American Coverlet is the first independent, year-round institution devoted to HISTORIC American woven coverlets.
NMAC gives coverlets the recognition and respect they deserve, while bringing their history to life.
The Museum opened in Bedford, Pennsylvania’s historic (1859) former Common School building in May of 2006. Since then, it has welcomed visitors from around the world.
NMAC offers changing exhibitions of 80 to 100 coverlets at a time, along with early spinning wheels, barn frame looms and more. We are happy to answer questions, offer background information and explain what you are looking at.
