The Parma Museum's annual quilt show will have added appeal this year with the addition of a large number of antique woven coverlets from the Cox Collection, according to Shirley Husted.

The event at 460 Parma Center Road, off Route 259, from noon until 4 p.m. on August 9 will also feature Shirley Cox Husted's doll collection with many Native American dolls, a talk on the quilt exchange between Rochester and its Sister Cities by City Historian Ruth Rosenberg-Napersteck and tours of the Bradley office restoration now underway on the museum grounds.

Dr. Samuel Beach Bradley was a state assemblyman, Greece supervisor and rural physician who delivered over 1,000 children during his medical career. He lived for two periods of time in the little 1825 wood frame building that housed his office on Manitou Road near Ridge Road West in a community known as Hoosick.

Determined to save the historic office from destruction, Donald Cox began the restoration project last year, when the foundation and cobbled stone wall was created by Don, after which the four walls of the structure were raised into place by community residents and students at Roberts Wesleyan College.

Recently Don Cox completed the interior and exterior stove chimney, using a brick from the former Greece Town Hall at the chimney's apex, in honor of Bradley's service as Greece supervisor.

Lauren McCracken contributed services and equipment to move the office remnants from its location on Manitou Road in Parma to Parma Center Road and supervised the foundation work.

Don Cox is accumulating antique medical implements, a stove and period furniture to furnish the building and has stripped authentic building materials from several old buildings to replace lumber rotted by the ravages of time.

All displays and the quilt show at the open house will be free of charge. There will also be food available, a quilt raffle, special music and a book sale and sale of unusual Halloween and Christmas fabrics.

Napersteck's lecture is sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities and the National Council for the Humanities in Washington, D.C.

The Parma Museum, established in 1975, is available for tours by appointment through a call to 392-3410.
