This Civil War Quilt is from Kinston where it was buried at the end of the Civil War to keep it from being stolen by Union Soldiers.  There are still a few water stains to be seen where rain water had gotten to it.  The quilt has never been washed and is as bright today as it must have been in the 1860's
