Feeling defeated, she makes a last visit to the Historical Society and finds an old letter from George Washington, in which he mentions having slept there. Imogene protests and tries to get the town to rally around, but everyone thinks the shoelace factory will help the town. Then she learns that the mayor has made plans to tear down the Historical Society to build a new shoelace factory, which will put their town on the map. She opens the new building to the public, but no one seems to care. She gets interested in the forgotten Historical Society building and works to restore it, cleaning it up and organizing its contents. Imogene is a history buff, who likes to quote famous Americans in the course of her everyday life. The plot in a nutshell: A girl fights to save her town’s history Still, Liddleville was home to a village green, a general store, a three-legged cat, and a little girl named Imogene Tripp. Liddleville, New Hampshire, was small – so small it wasn’t even a speck on the state map.
