We are seeking quilts for our annual Great Sarpy County Quilt Exhibit. They should have an interesting history, be a unique pattern or have a noteworthy story. Loaned quilts may be dropped off at the Museum during our open hours and will be displayed until August 18th.

I am a great-grandson of Rumsey Saling. Descent is through his son Glen Robert Saling, and granddaughter Madeline Clara Saling Laux (my mother). I can give you more details, but the purpose of this message is to tell you that I am in possession of a four-piece pewter tea set,inscribed “Mr and Mrs Saling, 1857-1882”, obviously a silver wedding anniversary presentation.
I propose to donate it to the Museum, if you are interested. I can send photos, if you will give me an email address.
For now, please let me know if you are interested
