Rugby: The Power of A Dream, pt. 1"We are about to open a town here. To create a new center of human life, human interests, human activities in this strangely beautiful solitude. We must be careful to spoil it as little as possible." Time stands still at Rugby, Tennessee - the restored Victorian village founded in 1880 by British author and social reformer, Thomas Hughes.

In part 1 of this series, Thomas Hughes ventures to the new world to start a colony that follows the ideas he came to dedicate his life towards. For more information, visit www.historicrugby.org. |
