Vermilion County Museum worker Erin Bolton straightens the edge of a woven afghan, which depicts various Danville landmarks, on display at the facility on Gilbert Street in Danville on Thursday. The museum is taking orders for the afghan as a fundraiser.
DANVILLE – Several years ago, the Center for Children's Services sold Vermilion County and Danville-themed afghans. The simple designs of separate area sites were very popular and after the initial sale, the Vermilion County Museum carried the items in its gift shop.
The museum has had enough calls that director Sue Richter started looking into creating a new throw specifically for the museum to sell as a fundraiser.
