Peaseware was created primarily in the second half of the nineteenth
century in picturesque Cascade Valley, the current location of
CREEKSIDE . The Pease family began production there around 1850,
relying entirely on the harnessed energy of Big Creek to power their
lathes and other equipment. They harvested fresh-cut maple for the
majority of their hollow containers that were designed, at first, for
local use. In-depth and definitive articles on both the Pease and
Brown families (their twentieth century successors) were researched
and written by the Kangases. Click on ARTICLES to read these two
articles: PEASEWARE: FRUIT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN and THE PEASE/BROWN
CONTINUUM.
