The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: That a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed, but a thing created is loved before it exists.
– Charles Dickens

I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.
– Steve Martin

Rockwood: A Mosaic
of Memories

by Deborah Quaile



Such a small town, but such significant history! Exotic cars race the streets. A barber is held at gun point.

A school teacher secretly marries the King of England! Apparitions haunt the hollows of Spirit Valley. A lucky landing dockside in England makes Rockwood famous at the Waldorf-Astoria.

A Napoleonic prisoner of war, a couple of Colonels, a Squire who played with Queen Victoria (the “girl-next-door”), a railroad baron, Quaker industrialists, a Group of Seven artist and a bunch of Callithumpians shape the story of our unique town.
