This draft history of the Allanstand Cottage Industries tells the story of how Frances Goodrich founded the craft cooperative. The story begins with Goodrich's work as an educational missionary in the Brittain's Cove community in Buncombe County in the 1890s and the gift of a double bow knot coverlet, given to her by Mrs. Davis, which inspired Goodrich to learn and revive weaving in the community. The story describes Goodrich's efforts to start a craft cooperative in Madison County with weavers such as Elmeda Walker, an unidentified basket maker, and other crafts persons. This craft cooperative is established as Allanstand Cottage Industries and a brief timeline of the shop's evolution is listed. The author and purpose of the history is unknown.
