the convergence of modern design and traditional technique

It?s a Thursday afternoon and all is quiet in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Main Street is virtually empty, and there are ?for rent? signs in several shop windows. In the last few years, the un-employment rate has been consistently on the rise in the region. Factories are leaving the heartland for cheaper locales and the little town of Two Rivers is struggling to re-invent itself. Jim VanLanen, one of the town?s most industrious entrepreneurs, began developing small museums as a way to bring tourists and industry to the area.
