Catherine Morgan Sampler

Catherine Morgan, a resident of Franklin, TN, was eleven years old when she completed her embroidered sampler. Finished Nov. 14, 1836, this is an example of the skill and art produced by young ladies during the early 19th century. Morgan’s sampler was given to Carnton and is occasionally displayed in the house as part of the period authentic pieces. You can now purchase the whole sampler kit or a chart of the sampler to recreate your own.
