Heritage Park Story-walk: Falls Island in Heritage Park
Heritage Park Story-walk
Falls Island in Heritage Park, Canton, NY
October 10-25
Enjoy the fresh air and fall colors in Heritage Park while learning more about the quilt traditions that inspired the art form on display in our current exhibit, “St. Lawrence County Barn Quilts.” This story-walk presentation of The Quilt Story by Tony Johnston and Tomie dePaola, created and shared by the Massena Public Library, gives you the chance to walk from page to page of the book, set up along a trail. (The book is especially geared towards Pre-K, but can be enjoyed by all!) Families are encouraged to visit the story-walk, take a selfie with one of the book pages, and come show it to us at the TAUNY North Country Folkstore–the first three to show us their selfies will receive a complimentary treat!
Special thanks to our partners: these events are presented in partnership with the Massena Public Library, also a partner in the 2019 Barn Quilt Tourism Project, and with additional support from the Canton Free Library and Grasse River Heritage.
