Sometimes home is not a house or where we were born; instead, it becomes a place we create far from what was once familiar to us. In November of 2005, James Carter, along with his then wife, Angela, and toddler, Atlas, left his birthplace in the World Heritage Site and historical city of Bath, England, to create a home in the Shenandoah Valley. After visiting the area in years prior, the couple agreed that The Friendly City was a place they could build a life together. With only ten boxes of belongings, no housing, no transportation or solid job offers, James Carter took a risk which would ultimately result in him achieving The American Dream. Prior to moving to Harrisonburg, VA, the Carters initiated an online business for the sole purpose of funding their overseas move. The business, Parentbaby.com, sold pregnancy and baby products — the same products Angela, purchased during her pregnancy while visiting her home of southern Virginia. These products were not easily found in the UK, and was James’ first instance in discovering his love for entrepreneurship and online marketing. This venture was the beginning of Carter’s passion for marketing, and would eventually lead to him opening his own full-service downtown Harrisonburg marketing agency, Digital Minerva. more

Since opening its doors at Agora Downtown Market in February 2017, Lineage has found an receptive and supportive local audience who share their appreciation for thoughtfully designed, well made products for everyday use. As the business grew, it found itself running out of space and needing more room for production of its house-made canvas and leather bags and growing retail offerings. Completing its expansion in early April, Lineage owner Paul Hansbarger is now able to better showcase his canvas and leather bags, and the extra space offers a larger collection of clothing, home goods, apothecary items, art, and unique gifts. more
