"The center of the quilt is a stone house, which is representative of about 40 stone houses built in Hammond by Scottish immigrants. The top painting of the horse-drawn sled highlights the skilled woodcarving of R. T. Elethorp. Many of his carvings and model buildings are on display at the museum. The tree and corn stalk show that lumber and agriculture have played an important role in Hammond life. The plow on the bottom was a product of a Hammond company, Evans Manufacturing, in the early 1900s. The symbols on each corner signify the origins of Hammond’s earliest settlers: strawberry – the Mohawk nation, thistle – Scotland, red clover – Vermont, and maple leaf – Canada. The double wedding ring pattern unites the various cultures that have settled here. The plaid used on the perimeter of the Museum barn quilt is the St. Lawrence Tartan designed and produced in 1961 by Mrs. Helene Cobb, who left her trademark for the tartan to the Thousand Islands Museum in Clayton. They have graciously allowed us to include the tartan on our barn quilt, representing our Hammond immigrants’ connection to the river."
