The American Way puzzle by artist William Mangum depicts the pride of America, the American flag, standing guard on a beautiful fall porch. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a warm, patriotic scene.
About the Artwork
The flag hangs proudly while autumn colors surround the porch. Meanwhile, the scene feels welcoming and familiar.
In addition, William Mangum’s warm colors and loose brushwork give the porch a cozy, inviting feel. As a result, it’s a relaxing puzzle to build.
Because the scene celebrates home and country, it’s a favorite for patriotic holidays.

Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the flag, using its stripes as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the porch and house. After that, piece together the fall leaves and flowers. Finally, fill in the background, sorting those pieces by shade.

Anne Brandt –
My husband loved the theme of this puzzle, which is why we purchased it. However, there was one piece missing. We’re avid puzzlers, and this had never happened before. What I was most pleased about was how Heritage Puzzle handled the situation.
I emailed the company and sent a photo of the finished American Way with the missing piece. I was immediately contacted with an offer for another copy of the same puzzle or a different one at no charge. The new puzzle arrived quickly and we enjoyed it. That’s great customer service.
We’ve ordered from Heritage again, based on this experience.
