Default Dept of Corrections Furniture and Crafts

We were at Grevior furniture in Franklin to buy a chair for camp. While there the owner Bob gave us a tour of the recently opened display of furniture and crafts created by NH prison inmates. We were impressed by the quality of the items, on a par with the NH League of Craftsmen items but at prices about 1/3 of that at the League stores. Some really fine woodworking at very attractive prices.

Here is an article about the prison program:

Now the display is in a number of small rooms in an old mill building so you have to poke around to see all the items. The entrance looks like a hole in the wall craft shop but the good stuff is beyond that and upstairs.
