Amazing and beautiful. My brother bought an old log cabin that had been disassembled. He is rebuilding it in Colorado, the logs look just the same.
This is fantastic!
As a family historian, I wish I had that kind of luck.
What a great story.
I have a friend who worked as a printer. A few years ago, an old lady and her driver came to the print shop. They had a box of papers stacked in order that she wanted bound into a book.
As my friend was collating everything, he called and asked if he could make a copy for himself. He also made me a copy.
The book was a compendium of family records and letters dating back to pre-revolutionary days. The family was in Georgetown, which is now part of Washington DC. Some of the stories detailed friendships with the Washington’s, Madisons’s and just about every other founding family and then into Civil War times.
It’s just another great reminder of just how young our Republic actually is.
Monroe is a big county. We live the county next to it.
Holy cow. What a piece of history.
