The town can make a lot of money holding weddings and events there. Weddings at historic places are very nice.

It certainly has been a long time coming! Maybe citizens could help with the lawn as volunteers and also local businesses could dontate materials (with a little persuasion for free advertising: Donated by ______________) displayed. Good Luck!

The house – if you don’t know it – is really a great example of the period and our region’s early entrepreneurs successes. It will be an awesome addition to the local cultural heritage and joins the museum in Christiansburg, the Odd Fellows House restoration and other projects that are keeping our regional history in good shape and accessible to all. As a local I’m going to give what I can…if you read this…even a pledge of $10 can help them achieve this plan.
