THE FORT VANCOUVER TAPESTRY PROJECT

The dream began in 1999.
The mission: to honor and celebrate the history of Clark County, 
Washington through the beauty and narrative of a hand-stitched tapestry.
The result is the Fort Vancouver Tapestry, measuring 108 feet long and 
28 inches high.
It is believed to be the only textile narrative of this scope ever 
created in the United States.
Clark College. Vancouver, Washington

Panel 45: The Covington House is a log house first used as a boarding 
school located east of town. It was later moved into Vancouver and has 
been cared for by the Vancouver Women's Club for over 50 years. Is 
Sasquatch a member?

fwiw -- if there's one, there were probably others ...    as in:
