The space
The Old homestead was built in 1800 and added to around 1850. You will find copies of deeds and the original land grant, signed by James Monroe, by the front door.
An example of painstaking renovations includes the removal of layers of whitewash and paint from huge fossil rocks in the chimney located in the kitchen (addition of 1850). Workmen used Coke and a wire brush.
Many of the furnishings were built by Pete Brinkmann, who purchased the Old Homestead from John Grove. The living room couch and various chairs and lampshades were recovered by Constance Dowrick.
The living room contains a fireplace-style wood stove. A 32-inch smart TV with Pluto TV and a Blu-ray, gives you the options of TV or streaming.
