I would really like to travel to the mid west and see these things.  I have a friend that is going to school in Nebraska and a neighbor that lived in Indiana.  They both said it is worth traveling there.  Thanks for the video.

I know all about their Shaker-style furniture. I really liked the new office furniture they got this year and asked where did it came from. My boss accidentally met the father and asked him to make some desks for the office. One year later we got them.
