In 1972, newlyweds Peter and LeAnna Dunn accepted a mission to open a home for runaway girls in New York City. In order to keep the girls occupied, they initiated a small woodworking business. The girls carved plaques and gifts that quickly became popular items at the Greenwich Village outdoor markets. When the mission in New York was complete, the couple bought the woodworking equipment and installed it on their farm in Dalton, Ohio. P. Graham Dunn is a family owned and operated business that opened its doors in 1976. In the early days, the work was labor-intensive. LeAnna and Peter were busy raising 4 energetic children and were running the business out of a revamped chicken coup. For twenty years, Peter designed every plaque, gift and each item of furniture while LeAnna managed the company’s finances. In time, the company began to computerize carving and laser operations and found it could successfully compete with offshore manufacturers. Today P. Graham Dunn serves over 4,000 accounts, most in the U.S., and the remainder in Canada and around the world.
