Pendleton Acadia National Park Motor Robe Throw with Leather Carrier

The historic markings and color on Pendleton Acadia National Park Motor Robe Throw with Leather Carrier date back to frontier days and the trading posts where blankets were exchanged for furs. Originally, wool blankets were valued by the number of stripes in the design. Variations and colors of the original striped blankets have been adapted to reflect bold characteristics on these park blankets. One-hundred years later, the National Park Blankets are still woven at the original Pendleton Woolen Mills in the foothills of the Oregon Blue Mountains.
