Those Crafty Nichols Sisters

Among the treasures in the Nichols House Museum’s collection are items crafted by Rose and Margaret Nichols in the early 20th century.

At a time when woodworking was an unusual profession for a woman, Margaret hand built furniture, ran her own furniture-making business, and taught woodworking classes. Rose was a woodcarver and an embroiderer, her designs enlivening the Nichols family home.

On this special tour of the Nichols House Museum, we’ll highlight the objects they created.
