Step into the Hale House for a special Historic Beverly program with Dr. Kimberly Alexander on flax, linen, and the vital role of textiles during the American Revolution.

This program will explore how flax was processed into linen and why homespun textiles became important symbols of independence, resistance, and political identity in Revolutionary-era America. Guests will learn about the connections between household labor, material culture, and the broader movement for independence.

The program includes a hands-on flax processing and spinning demonstration with Reuben Downey.
