Exciting news! Tuttle's to be a Picture Book!

We're thrilled to report that the 12-generation story of Dover's famous farmstand and country store, Tuttle's Red Barn, will soon (September 22) become a hardcover picture book: "Tuttle's Red Barn: The Story of America's Oldest Family Farm" by Richard Michelson and illustrated by Caldecott Award winner Mary Azarian. Here's the book description from the publisher's catalog:

In 1632, John Tuttle set sail from England to Dover, New Hampshire. There he set up a farm on seven acres of land. From those humble beginnings the Tuttle family story became America’s story. As the Tuttles passed down the farm, along the way they witnessed the settlement and expansion of New England; they fought in the American Revolution; they helped runaway slaves along the Underground Railroad and sold maple syrup to Abraham Lincoln; they bought the first Model T in that Dover; and they transformed the old barn into the thriving country store it is today.
With Caldecott Medalist Mary Azarian’s evocative woodcuts and Richard Michelson’s moving prose bringing the Tuttle story to life, readers will be enraptured by the panorama of American history as seen through the eyes of one family.

There will be a book signing party at Tuttle's on September 23. Look for more information at http://www.tuttlesredbarn.net/.
