Founder's Flame: A Tribute to 200 Years of Adams County Heritage

Step into history with the Founder's Flame, an extraordinary candle created to honor the Bicentennial of Adams County, Illinois. This exceptional piece is not merely a candle but a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and the cherished legacy of John Wood, the visionary founder of Adams County.

Each Founder's Flame begins its journey in the hands of a master woodworker from the Ozark region of Missouri, who carefully crafts each wooden dough bowl into the distinctive shape of Adams County. Once complete, the bowls are locally engraved with the Bicentennial seal by the skilled engravers at Muddy River Engraving, ensuring each candle is a unique, heirloom-quality collectible.

Finally, the artistry culminates in Quincy, Illinois, where the bowl is hand-poured by Quincy Candle Co. using our signature fragrance, John Oud (or Founder's Fragrance). This exquisite scent captures the essence of legacy and tradition with its warm, rich, and timeless notes—a fitting tribute to John Wood and the two centuries of stories that have shaped Adams County.

Celebrate 200 years of history with this remarkable piece, beautifully blending artistry, craftsmanship, and community spirit. The Founder's Flame is more than a candle—it’s a collectible treasure that keeps the glow of Adams County’s heritage burning brightly. Join us in honoring this momentous occasion in 2025!
