Sidney Holloway Spinning Carded Wool in Plymouth Carding Mill (now Gunsolly Carding Mill), Greenfield Village, circa 1949

Sidney Holloway (1901-1960) was instrumental in establishing the weaving program at Greenfield Village. Holloway, once employed in the Ford Motor Company's Textile Department, began working with Henry Ford's textile-making collections in 1930. Through hands-on experience and self-study, he mastered the weaving craft. Holloway would engage Greenfield Village visitors for thirty years and pass on his skills to the next generation of artisans.
