Subject: RE: American Museum in Britain
As a member of Dorset Triumph Folk Dancers I had the honour and pleasure of performing at Claverton Manor on several occasiions. The displays are impressive and I learned a lot. I even gained an appreciation of the very American art form of quilting!
Memories include seeing a column of smoke rising from the opposite hillside (I was a musician so I had an opportunity of looking around) while the dancers did their thing. We called the emergency sercvices and were able to hear the sirens as they investigated.
