The Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site is hosting "Threads of History – The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry" on  Sunday, April 30, at 2:00 pm.  

This world-famous embroidery depicts the meeting of Harold of England, and William, Duke of Normandy, later the Conqueror, then graphically illustrates the 1066 Battle of Hastings.  Created within a few years of the battle, it continues to hold mysteries, which intrigue us to this day.  Cathy Grafton will tell the story of the tapestry, the history of almost 1,000 years, how it was made, and also bring stitched sections based on the original design. 

This program will be held in the Visitor Center Auditorium.

The Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site is located at 402 South Lincoln Highway Road, Lerna, Illinois.
