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