About Us
7 Generations Strong
Martin Harrison Parks started this woodworking business on the Miller's river back in 1827 making wooden barrel covers. The business transitioned into spools for the textile and tire cord industries, then utilizing the company's turning abilities, furniture turnings became the primary product, which then led to chair making in the late 1960s. Todd Parks, the 7th generation, transitioned the company further into case goods, tables, and occasional furniture. 7 Generation family owned and operated since 1827.
