PENDLETON NATIONAL PARK BLANKETS, 1916-2011




PendletonWoolen Mill's series of National Park blankets are a celebration of the United States unique contribution to land use planning, the national park. The strong simple design of these blankets comes from the early frontier days of Indian fur traders and mountain men. Their labels from the 1920s to 1950s frequently were based on travel decals and luggage stickers used by the great national parks. I bought myself on my last trip the blanket of my favorite national park called Crater Lake (see the one above), and it keeps me warm during those cold nights.
