Abstract:

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the area that is now Shenandoah County, Virginia served as a principal migration route from Philadelphia to North Carolina. Trade centers and developers in the region brought together a variety of cultures. This diversity created one of the most interesting American regional styles in decoration and craftsmanship.
