Members of Northeast Iowa's Hannah Lee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution have taken part in an antique identification session with Vesterheim Museum's chief curator, Laurann Gilbertson.

Members brought their own antique items for Gilbertson to identify.  She then informed members about the age, origin, use, care, restoration and preservation of the items. 

A daguerreotype photo of a little girl, a Norwegian half coverlet, and a variety of other textiles were among the items discussed.
