About the event

From their early use in Great Britain to current times, individual jigsaw puzzles tell us so much about the people, the culture and the history of the United States. Robin Henderson (Terra Rodgers of Chestnut and Hemlock Puzzles could not be with us) shares her insight and appreciation of these enduring pieces of our past and present.

A small selection of puzzles will be on display.
