‘The Macclesfield of America’ – Paterson, New Jersey

‘The Macclesfield of America’ – Paterson, New Jersey
The Silk Museum, 9 June – 22 September 2018

Hundreds of Maxonian families emigrated to the U.S. city and built a successful silk industry there, and the towns marked their special relationship in WWI with an exchange of flags, a ceremony that is being repeated this year to mark 100 years since the Armistice.
This free exhibition ties in with the Barnaby Festival Roots/Routes theme.
