One of the last surviving U.S. textile mills; Our small family owned and operated business makes good use of old, outdated power looms, though the setups are still painstakingly done by hand. Can you imagine threading over a thousand heddles (needles) in one day?

We reproduce original designs from the 18th and 19th centuries and adapt them for 21st century use. Since 1983, we have continued to grow a workforce that is comprised of 25 employees operating over 40 antique looms. Our work can be seen at many historic sites - including nine Presidential homes, museums and Colonial Williamsburg.

Hollywood has called on Family Heirloom Weavers to produce material used in several movies such as Gettysburg, Gods and Generals, Cold Mountain, Jonah Hex, Cowboys & Aliens and Abraham Lincoln/Vampire Hunter and the most recent - Spielberg's Lincoln.

We are proudly licensed by Winterthur.

Family Heirloom Weavers' work is not just for museums and famous homes. Our carpets and accessories are used in many homes throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. We can help you return your home's look and feel to the period in which it was built.

We change our product line frequently to keep things fresh -- always a reason to come back! Our product line includes ingrain and venetian (stripe) carpet, home accessories which include window treatments, table top and bedding for the primitive and colonial decorators. A stroll through the show house will show off our best in room settings and give you plenty of ideas for your own home.  Our newest reproduction endeavor is with the Arts & Crafts period - approx 1890 - 1920.  We are currently collecting original pieces to reproduce and expand this new line.

We also encourage folks to tour our mill and show house to get acquainted with an industry that once made the U.S. a world leader in manufacturing.
