The Great American Birthday Quilt Exhibition

After the grand quilt reveal in Merchants Square, the Great American Birthday Quilt—created by Visit Williamsburg in partnership with the Muscarelle Museum of Art—will be on display throughout 2026 at the Colonial Williamsburg Regional Visitor Center. Come experience this meaningful piece up close as it brings together squares from people across the country, each contributing to a powerful, shared story in honor of America’s 250th birthday.
