There are many ways to tell the history of a
small American town, but none as enchanting as this magnificent
quilt, which offers a visual journey into the past.
Created through the collaboration of some of
the town's most talented residents, each block has been individually
worked into wondrously intricate patternings that beautifully
illustrates a landmark that is part of the town's culture and
history.
