Fairmount Park - 1876 in America was "the year of the great anniversary." This was the year of our nation's 100th birthday. One particular celebration took place in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. Over 100,000 people came to see the great displays of machines, inventions, and amusing spectacles. The Fairmount Park line from Windham recreates fabrics from this Centennial Celebration in reds and blues. To see the entire line, click here.
