CELELBRATING THE STONEWARE INDUSTERY OF GREENE COUNTY

SEPTEMBER 10 - 11 - 12, 2010 OFFICIAL WEBSITE & EVENTS SCHEDULE

Jugs, a 2010 celebration of the stoneware industry of Greene County Illinois, will be an extension of the IVCHA quilted trail. This celebration will culminate with a Quilted Trail Guide book dedicated to the history of the Greene County Stoneware Industry and a Quilted Trail of Barns and or silos made of White Hall vitrified stoneware tile.

 

As with the original Quilted Trail, the Jugs Quilted Trail will boast colorfully designed quilts mounted in scenic/historic spaces and sponsored by local business/organizations. To learn more  about the quilted program please visit the quilted pages of this website.

 

The Jugs book will host the familiar articles that have become staples in our fall booklets:

· Becoming Greene, the stories of Greene County Families journeys to the County.

· Lost!, the annual list of local historic buildings that were demolished.

· Greene Style, a tutorial of typical Greene County architectural styles.

To mention a few.
