My family worked there, my dad drove the stage coach, my brother did trail rides, I ran the mule swing, all on the top of the hill above the grist mill My mom worked in the Marina, just before you got to the paddleboats for a while. I walked the park daily until I was old enough to Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610898740836993338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254227285674003534.post-79894166997355769192014-12-07T16:59:03.501-06:002014-12-07T16:59:03.501-06:00I find this fascinating.

I visited again right before it closed. My daughter was a child. It was creepy. The new owner has his work cut out but good for him to have a vision.

I think an artisan colony is a wonderful idea.

This was really creepy and disturbing. I can't help but think of all the memories that were made here and since lost in shoe boxes.
