Building Histories, Architecture & Landmarks

Photograph of two volunteers sitting at quilting during the Living Local event at the Four Mile Historic Park.  According to the volunteer the quilt was created as an "ownership" project by a 2007-2008 elementary school class.  Each student had a  square where they put their names, age and what they liked about visiting the Four Mile House.  After its completion it will be hung in the Bee House at the park.
