That's one of the reasons I write and read historical fiction. :)Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-73133523726799325292017-04-14T13:03:14.437-04:002017-04-14T13:03:14.437-04:00It is a wonderful reminder to store up our treasur...It is a wonderful reminder to store up our treasures where moth and rust do not destroy. I'm always amazed (and a bit sad) to tour these amazing homes and realize they were used for such a short period of time by the original owners. Several historic houses are like this one. Sadly, subsequent generations can't afford to keep them up and many are torn down. It's so nice to see one such home being lovingly restored and cared for.

We're planning a trip to Ohio in August and will make several stops on the way there and on the way back. The love of history is a wonderful legacy to instill in the next generation.

It was fun to see all that they had done to bring the home back to its original charm. Work was still being done in several rooms, and they continue to bring items back to the mansion as they find them all over the world. A wonderful place to visit!Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-54724588976197364202017-04-14T12:57:22.759-04:002017-04-14T12:57:22.759-04:00I haven't visited Lincoln's home, but have...I haven't visited Lincoln's home, but have plans to this summer!

Biltmore wowed even my children when we visited years ago. I was most interested in the servants quarters because that's where I would have lived (my mother was a maid for a wealthy woman).

Restoring a piece of history to it's original paint and luster of the wood is time consuming but wow the final results. Gabrielle, have you visited President Lincoln's home in Springfield, IL.
