Tartan Day on Ellis Island

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I've never been to Ellis Island so this thread was very interesting and informative. Thank you for all the great photos. They clearly show the great job your display did Matt to educate the visitors unfamiliar with tartan.

Thanks. I have to say the credit for the great display goes mostly to Bob Currie of the Clan Currie Society. He spent the past year putting together the outfits and the information panels for the exhibition. The Scottish Tartans Museum's role was as an advisor to the exhibition, and then we brought up the materials for a tartan information table (and, of course, yours truly) to be on hand during the exhibition itself.

And, as a PS, the materials from the exhibition are now held in storage by the Clan Currie Society and are available for travelling exhibitions, if anyone wishes to sponsor a tartan display in their own neck of the woods. Contact Bob Currie for more details.
