Colechester

Colechester is a classical smalltown Americana nestled in the Northwest of Ithaca, New York. It was founded in 1928, by Miriam Colechester, who sought to create an entire town based on Futurist ideas that she encountered when she was abroad in Italy. Once she sent out advertisements, many artists, scholars, and others from the city flocked to the area and began creating a town with the aesthetics of both futurism and the upcoming Art-Deco with such strong Humanist roots, they ensured the town would remove as much prejudice from the new town, they saw it as a new starting point for the country, pulling away from it's uglier roots.
