FOR RELEASE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2014, AT 9:00 A.M. EDT.- A true-to-history replica carpet is being put into the largest room at Fredericksburg's finest home -- a big deal for the George Washington's Fredericksburg Foundation. It will transform how the room looks to the average visitor, returning it to the pre-Revolutionary War appearance that Fielding and Betty Washington Lewis planned. The carpet was woven on England's last such woolen mill from olden times; it's even possible that Kenmore's original carpet -- a huge extravagance -- was woven in the same place.
