Rags to Rugs

08/30/2026

Do you know about the charming little village of Bishop Hill IL? It is where my ancestors came to settle after leaving Sweden! Rug/carpet making was a big thing for their community in the 1800s as well!
This beautiful village has a candy store, great places to eat and historical buildings to allow you to walk around and see how it would have been like to live there back then!

Find when their festivals are and plan a day! You will not regret it! 🙂
