Last week, my sister and I drove from New Mexico to Vermont. During our long days in the car, we used a combination of guide books, maps, road signs and our smart phones to find out about the towns we were going through. One town in Ohio is called “Twinsburg” and described in our AAA guide as
Settled in 1817, Twinsburg was originally called Millsville. In 1819 two identical twin merchants from Connecticut gave land for a public square and funded a school in exchange for the town naming rights… Today Twinsburg is the site of the area’s largest annual gathering of twins.
This description led to a search for other twin gatherings and I stumbled across a website called They Travel and Draw, with mappish paeans to places all over the world. The one above is Dinara Mirtalopova’s rendition of Twinsburg.
