Wallace Loom House

texture

The Wallace Loom House, donated to Historic Collinsville by Anne Wallace, came from Old Russellville Pike in the St. Bethlehem area of Montgomery County. It contains a chestnut wood loom that belonged to the Chadwick Family of Collinsville. A loom is used to weave cloth by facilitating the interweaving of threads. A loom was one of the most valued pieces of equipment in the average homestead where it was used to weave homespun yarn into cloth to make clothing and other cloth items.
