a rare visit to the american terra cotta company’s museum, located in crystal lake, ills.

a little less than a week ago i had the opportunity to visit the american terra cotta company museum – located in crystal lake, ills. i was rather impressed with the exhibits, including the carefully curated selection of terra cotta ornament that the factory produced beginning in 1881.
