Revival of Early Crafts Marks 200th Birthday Riot of Style
New Yorkers and youth artisans revive early American crafts to honor America's 200th birthday. At The Hitchcock Chair Co in Riverton Connecticut young makers refine quilting weaving silversmithing and pewtering while planning shop towns to foster their own craft businesses. The firm produces thousands of chairs weekly and hosts a museum drawing 40000 visitors annually to view authentic pieces signed between 1826 and 1840.
