A VIEW FROM THE TOP THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF IROQUOIS

The Iroquois Preservation Committee, a branch of the Iroquois Neighborhood Association/Civic Club have been compiling a book on the history of the Iroquois Neighborhoods.  Their extensive research has encompassed countless visits to the local Public and University Libraries, pouring through old newspapers, city directories, census records, deeds, wills and photographic archives.  They have conducted oral history interviews with current and former residents and business owners of the neighborhoods as well as descendants of the original families that settled the South Louisville area.  The book will include an amazing collection of private photographs.  Stay tuned to the Little Loomhouse website for information on the release of this exciting project schedule for Winter 2006.  Once available, the book can be purchased from this website.                        Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Little Loomhouse. 

  ATTENTION WEAVERS

 Do you have hand woven articles that you would like to sell?  The Little Loomhouse takes items on consignment.  Call Sally Moss at 367-4792 or 239-7382.

All weavers are invited to attend a new Louisville Area Weavers Guild organized by Sally Moss.  Meetings will be held on the First Saturday of each month at The Little Loomhouse, 328 Kenwood Hill Road from 10:00 am to 11:30 am.  We want to restore the long tradition of an active local area guild that gives weavers the opportunity of sharing ideas and accomplishments.  All are Welcome.
