The All-American Valley


Farm & Factory,
Mill & River
this is my town

Indians & European Settlers
we lived as neighbors

Trading Posts & Far-off Ports, 
they came with tall sailing ships.

Grist Mills, Corn Mills, Paper Mills & Blacksmith Shops
our falls powered  these industries.

David Humphrey & Merino Sheep
even George Washington wore our wool suits.

Cotton, Cloth & Furniture, 
Tools, Augers & Bits,
Brass, Copper & Wire
we had enough to keep busy.
