A improbable journey. A remarkable commitment. And an easy faith.

Wrap yourself in a riveting American tale told in beautiful stitches and craft

The people and legacy of Aurora, a utopian community founded within the mid-1800s, will stir your imagination, hopes, and dreams; and remind you that each and every life matters–each and every day-to-day task, love, aspiration, and endeavor.

Aurora is in regards to the difference each and every atypical life can make–and an exquisite celebration of a time and place by which people expressed their most cherished beliefs through the work of their imagination and hands.
