The cedar lining is a natural repellant for many pests -- especially moths. Hope chests often have sentimental associations and may be passed from generation to generation. An old tradition was to use it to collect the things a young woman would need to start her own household. And once that household was started, the chest could serve practical purposes, but it often was used to save precious mementos, such as a baby's Christening gown, a wedding dress, a quilt made by a beloved relative, love letters or other items needing protection from the elements and pests.
