A Walk through history

An older home built in Hot Springs about 1905 was the choice for the monthly Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. My mother went to parties there in the 1930s and I rode horses on the property in the 1950s so we went for the tour of the rustic 4,338 sq. ft. home built to resemble an Adirondack cabin.

The crowd grew until they had to turn people away so we stood out front for a 40 minute talk about the history of the house and the owners. Old people standing for that long is not necessarily good so when one keeled over and the ambulance came then we started our house tour. It was like old home week running into people I had not seen in fifty years!

My sister joined us and was excited to discover the old home foundation torn down when the "cabin" was built.

I keep telling Leon if he will build me an arbor like this then I will plant wisteria. Mine would not have to be large enough to drive through!
