“Wrought in the 10th Year of Her Age”

Made by many young girls practicing their needlework skills in the early 1800s, samplers featured themes and scenes of daily life. This sampler, stitched by Providence resident Abigail Adams Hobart (grandniece of President John Adams), depicts both University Hall (shown as “Providence College”) as well as the “President’s House.”
