Bump Tavern Floorcloth - Historic Collection

Monday, May 12th, 2008

About Bump Tavern pattern: The pattern is based on floors of Bump Tavern at the Farmers Museum Cooperstown, New York. Bump Tavern was built by Jehiel Tuttle in the late 1790s in the village of Ashland, Greene County, New York. The tavern was purchased in 1842 by Ephraim Bump, who expanded the building and updated the Federal period architecture with Greek revival porches. In 1952, Bump Tavern was moved to Cooperstown, where it became part of the collection of historic buildings at The Farmers’ Museum.

Here is the image of the floorcloth while in progress…

I will add more images after folding up the edges and applying the brown antique glaze.
