Original Felttown moves West!

Posted on December 29, 2014 By admin

Of the many wonderful things that happened over Christmas 2015, one of the most cherished will be the unveiling of an original Gram McCourt “known” Felttwon that made its way from origin of Bangor, ME to our lovely home in Los Angeles, CA.

It was given with love, respect and history to our children Luke and Lily. I hope many more years of play will grace our home and this piece of Felttwon history!

Original Felt Town surfaces!

I was recently emailed from this blog and to my great surprise and wonderment, a kind soul sent me a photograph of their beloved Felt Town. A traditional FT which has been framed and hung on the wall in there home. Thanks so much for sharing!

The email reads:

Hi Henry:  Here is a photo of the rug my 2 brothers ,1 sister  and I played on as kids.  As I said in the post my mother made it in 51 or 52,  I was born in 52 so I got lots of use out of it.  My wife had it framed so for display.  Kids today would not be so entertained as we were.  Thanks Robert

I woke up this morning and found this in my living room:

This can only mean one thing, right?

Finding a Felt Town in such early stages means I can monitor its progress closely and possibly discover new insights into the whole world of Felt Town!

Need I say more? Perhaps I do.
Here is a fine example of a McCourt inspired Felt Town Play Rug that has an exciting and playful take on Felt Town layout. A fully customized, localized version for Newburgh, NY containing such iconic places as the ice cream store, the library and of course the famous Balmville Tree.

Amazing images of an original Felttown! Hard to imagine, but these photos were taken this year, showing an incredibly maintained original Felttown. Not much is known about this discovery and certainly and news will be reported here at Felttown.com. This is an incredible discovery and all we can say at this point is WOW!
