Quilts were donated to Fort Robinson State Park to be placed
on beds in the brick officer quarters. The quilts are similar to the
bedcovers that you would have found at the fort when it was an
active U.S. Cavalry post in the late 19
th
century. The park sought at
least 30 quilts from quilters and received 53 queen-sized bed quilts
in a variety of styles and colors. An estimated value of each quilt is
$1,500.
