Join the Friends of the Bucks County Historical Society for this program featuring the work of Karl and Mary Jo Gimber, a skilled rug-hooking design and craft team from Bucks County.  Their colorful hooked rugs are often based on authentic historical designs of 18th- and 19th-century tavern and trade signs.  Free and open to the public.
